I visited this museum last weekend with a friend and honestly had a pretty good time. The building itself is really nice and the exhibits were organized in a way that made sense, so you don’t feel rushed or lost. I especially liked the section with local history, it felt personal and kinda cozy. The staff were polite and answered a couple questions I had, even if I rambled a bit. Gift shop was small but had some cute stuff. Overall it’s not over the top exciting, but its worth a visit if you’re in the area.
This Museum has amazing art from AE Backus and the artists known as the Highwaymen. They have an eclectic gift shop offering original and reproduction works of art. Note cards, placemats, jewelry, scarves, etc. most at 20% off for the holiday. We got there at 3:30 and they stayed open past the 4PM closing for us to finish our visit.
Great museum if you have an interest in the Highwaymen and their history. Great video. Good selection of paintings. Nice gift shop. Some paintings are for sale, you will need a fat wallet to afford them.
Fine small town art scene. This museum does a great service for all of St Lucie County. Thru Bean Backus efforts the Highwaymen continue to be an important segment of Ft. Pierce's art history. Always visit this museum when your in town.
This was an excellent and endearing museum situated along the Indian River. Despite its quaint size, this museum packs a punch in terms of history, culture, and information. There was another art exhibit on display in tandem with the Backus gallery and the Highwaymen collective. Backus was referred to as the Dean of Florida Landscape Painting and was the catalyst for inspiration and training of the many members of the Highwaymen. This story hinges on confronting racial boundaries and embracing kindness, love, and inspiration. I’d say this is a must-do if you’re visiting Florida’s Treasure Coast. Notes: ➡️ Parking onsite is free in the nearby marina lot ➡️ No public restrooms are available. You must buy gallery/museum tickets to access the restroom. ➡️ Admission is $5 with $2 off admission discounts for AARP, AAA, Veterans with ID and those over 65.

She helped to make our experience at the museum special and added context to some of the questions we had as well.
