Thank you for making Museum Day 2009 such a huge success! Please check back for information on Museum Day 2010.
Until then, check out our participating museums and upcoming events on our Twitter page.
Celebrating its 10th Yr. Anniversary in September, 2009, the Ritz Theatre & LaVilla Museum’s permanent collection features the history of Northeast Florida's African American community. Home of James Weldon Johnson and the anthem "Lift Every Voice and Sing", Jacksonville's LaVilla community was once known as the "Harlem of the South".
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
