It may come as a surprise, but the Town of Jupiter is brimming with museums, arts, and culture.  Not only is Jupiter enchanted with some of the most picturesque beaches and waterways it is home to a flourishing arts scene that encompasses revered playhouses, theater festivals and historical museums. There are many reasons why people visit museums. Some want to learn about the past, while others are curious about the country they are visiting or just want to enjoy art and culture.

In a 1999 lecture, the late Emmanuel N. Arinze, President of the Commonwealth Association of Museums stated that museums “hold the cultural wealth of the nation in trust for all generations and by its function and unique position, have become the cultural conscience of the nations.” 

Some of the museums offer virtual tours such at Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse offering a virtual tour of the lighthouse. This program is a part of the Virtual Education Initiative offered by the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum. Visit the livecam at the top of the Jupiter Lighthouse and Museum. This program is supported by the Modica Family and The Joe Namath Foundation.

Following C.D.C. Guidelines many museums are operating at half capacity with limited hours or virtual tours. Masks are mandatory and hand sanitizer is available at all locations. Below is a list of the Jupiter area museums, please call each museum to find out hours and days of operations.
