What's Included

Experience
The museum sits in a 1920s Italian Renaissance-style building overlooking the Great Miami River, with hours Wednesday through Sunday. The Lange Family Experiencenter is the standout - a permanent hands-on family gallery rather than a one-day program, so it works for repeat museum visits.
