The James Museum, an exquisitely designed museum in downtown St. Petersburg, will officially reopen to members June 11 and 12, and will reopen to the public on June 13. Museum officials made the announcement on Twitter on June 5, the same day Phase II of Reopening began in the state of Florida.

This downtown cultural institution hasn’t been quiet throughout the pandemic. The James Museum has reached the community through virtual events, educational outreach, and participating Light Up with Pride, and lighting up blue in support of our first responders and essential workers through the pandemic.

The James Museum will reopen on Saturday, June 13 at 10AM with our regular hours of operation. Our dedicated team has been hard at work preparing the museum and implementing some changes to keep you and our community safe.
