Florence County Museum

I didn’t know this museum existed but it was a great one to visit.

Fun, educational and surprising gem of a museum. Super interesting local history coupled with beautiful works of art. The museum is laid out very well. As you stroll through the exhibit by Johnson, you'll find a fascinating story of a talented man whose life and travels shaped his art.

Beautiful place. It's very informative by giving information on how and who help with forming Florence and also some of the neighboring cities as well. My granddaughter did the scavenger hunt they had for people to do if they chose to. We had a great time, 90 minutes went by very quickly today!!!!

Extensive history of the area and of the people who developed it. There are two exhibits of art currently on display in separate areas. (All artwork is pictured.)

Great complement to Florence. There are plenty of parking spaces and interesting landscaping. Super clean, with the right blend of art and history.

This was wonderful! Loved the local history geology and interactive elements!

Great museum and very informative history in South carolina.I enjoyed the time I had here. Even though one side was closed it still was a nice size. The front desk staff did seem like they didn't want to be there other than that it was a nice museum to visit.

First time going here today. It's is free, parking can be hard to find if it's busy. Free guided tours. Lots of beautiful historical pictures and relics. Very beautiful and clean museum. Definitely worth a stop by. Very easy to see from the street. Very helpful friendly staff.

Free admission . Closed on Mondays . Large objects are not allowed in the galleries like large bags, parcels, backpacks and umbrellas. Free lockers are available to store large belongings. Mobility accessible with both stairs and an elevator. My DAR chapter took a field trip to Florence County Museum because of their Revolutionary War gallery . The museum seems fairly new and modern . It offers two floors of galleries , exhibits and displays . The museum also offers interactive activities for both kids and adults like a museum scavenger hunt and activities in the museum courtyard. On the day we visited I was able to use indigo to dye a small planter and then plant a tomato seed in the planter . Nice , clean bathrooms and free parking . Plan to spend at least an hour or so here depending on how much you read and any activities you do .

Small but elegant and brand new facility. Spacious but limited galleries. Lots of open space out of doors. Currently two featured galleries for fine art and several small galleries for history. Free to visit and friendly staff. Visit the museum and other local downtown restorations. Directly across from Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center and nearby are several fun dining opportunities. Florence Hotel is around the corner for accommodations. Handicapped accessible.
