The Monterey Museum of Art, founded in 1959, is dedicated to celebrating and advancing the diversity of art—past, present, and future—through its exhibitions, collections, and community engagement. The non-profit company is based in Monterey, CA. It operates two sites: the Pacific Street location, which houses galleries focused on American painting, photography, and contemporary art, and the historic La Mirada estate, used for special events, educational programs, and rentals. The museum offers a wide range of programs and events for all ages, including family days, summer art camps, sketching sessions, exhibition tours, and curator talks. Educational resources are available for schools, families, and adults, both onsite and online. Admission is free for students, active military, members, children under 18, and SNAP participants, with a general adult fee. Membership provides benefits such as free admission, discounts, and reciprocal access to other museums.
