HISTORIC ROOMS

Pine Room

The Pine Room is presented in Stained Norwegian pine paneling carved in the 1680s. Considered the work of "Grinling Gibbons" for the home of the Earl of Essex at Cassiobury Park, this room recreates the look of a 19th century English Manor home. Art and artifacts displayed reflect the eclectic tastes of the day.

Blue room

The Blue Room is designed to reflect the comfortable feel of a sitting room during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Irish Bristol and Waterford crystal chandelier illuminates the room and a Broadwood pianoforte reminiscent of those used by musical composers of the Baroque and Classical Era is a sight to behold.

Gallery & Music Room

The Gallery and Music Room recreates the look of a long gallery room, an important feature of many of the great houses of Europe. Portraits of family members were often displayed alongside the owners' fine art collections. The Edward-Dean Museum Picture Gallery houses works by Joshua Reynolds, William M. Turner, David Roberts and George Lambert.

Rabe gallery and Oak room

The Rabe Gallery and The Oak Room are two galleries that house changing exhibitions and contain fine decorative arts from the 16th to 19th centuries.

ASIAN COLLECTION ROOM

The Asian Collection Room displays a collection of Chinese paintings, sculptures and costumes adjacent to an alcove containing Classic and Neo-Classic sculpture of bronze and Marble.

REFERENCE LIBRARY

The Reference Library houses 2,700 books, many from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The collection is a culturally rich enhancement to the existing Riverside County Library System collection with many books highlighting subjects like Science, Botanical, Architecture, Landscape, Design, Art, History, Religion and Fashion. One particularly impressive feature of the rare collection is a handwritten account ledger from General George Washington during the Revolutionary War, dating back to June 1775 through 1783.

“Interior of the museum is absolutely stunning, from the artwork to the musical instruments to all of the furniture. The outside grounds are equally mind-blowing with a huge selection of beautiful flowers, birds, a koi pond and too many other beautiful things to mention. You have to go see yourself.”
