County Museum Open Presidents’ Day Monday

The San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands, usually closed on Mondays, will be open on the Presidents’ Day holiday, Monday, February 20, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Regular museum admission fees apply.

Visitors will see exhibits about the cultural and natural history of inland Southern California and the southwest, including minerals and fossils, Native American artifacts, birds and mammals, and historical objects. A special exhibit is also included with paid museum admission.

“Art and Artifact” is showing in the museum’s Fisk Gallery. This exhibit showcases works of art from the museum collections alongside historic artifacts that relate to the paintings and sculpture. The exhibit invites visitors to explore whether works of art represent the reality of objects or the reality of concepts as expressed by the artist.
