Victorians developed new colors and techniques for making art, but some could put them in their graves! At this event, find out about the deadly ingredient list, artists who may have inadvertently poisoned themselves, and what colors were the most problematic. From arsenic to lead, Victorian artists were exposed to a spectrum of toxins. Join special guests from Urge Palette Art Supplies to learn how to stay safe with today’s artists’ materials. Join us in the gardens of Heritage House (8193 Magnolia Avenue, Riverside, CA 92504) on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 12 to 4 p.m. to learn about all of the dangerous ingredients, paints, and supplies that Victorians were “dying” for. Spend some time creating your own “memento mori” and don't forget to take a tour of the house, now featuring "Gilded: The Art of Heritage House" (through November 29, 2026) and Behind the Black Veil (through November 1, 2026).

On Friday, October 4, Museum of Riverside Director Robyn G. Peterson and Curator Emerita Brenda Buller Focht were honored to complete the repatriation of human remains to Mexico. The remains came into the Museum's collection many decades ago from Hidalgo, Mexico, and they are now on their way back home. The remains were returned at a ceremony at the Mexican Consulate in San Bernardino where Museum staff were very graciously hosted.

Join us for a screening of the gothic horror classic, “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (1941). From the director who brought to life “Gone with the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz,” Victor Fleming examines the dark side of Victorian psychology in his adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella. Dr. Jekyll (Spencer Tracy) proposes there is a dichotomy of good and evil in us all which can be explored when dosed with a serum he developed… but what happens when one side takes control?! We invite you once again to bring your blanket and/or camping chairs for a cozy viewings of classic Hollywood films under the stars on the lawn at Heritage House. This fall these FREE events will take place October 16 and November 20. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and screenings begin at 6:30 p.m. Concessions available at the Heritage House Snack Shack (CASH ONLY). Limited on site and street parking available.
