From the Executive Director:

Welcome to the Monterey Museum of Art. It is our vision to serve our community and visitors through the visual arts by providing outstanding exhibitions, engaging public programs and a wonderful experience in our unique and historic facilities. Our permanent collection not only reflects the profound artistic legacy of our region, but a dynamic contemporary art scene.

We have a number of exciting exhibitions planned for our fall and winter season. Opening in January at MMA-Pacific Street is Paintings in the 90’s: Selections from the Permanent Collection. Other intriguing exhibitions include Brad Cole: The Last Dream, CloseUp: Kenzo Okada, Garry Winogrand’s New York and many more. Visit our exhibitionpage to view all of our current and upcoming exhibitions.

I hope you will take the opportunity to read the Museum’s Strategic Plan containing our new mission statement, vision statement and goals for the next five years.

Please use this website to plan your visit and check on the many activities for you and your family. I encourage you to join the Museum and subscribe to This Week at the Monterey Museum of Art, our online newsletter. I hope you have an enjoyable visit and please do not hesitate to contact the Museum staff if we may assist you in any way.

I look forward to seeing you in person at the Monterey Museum of Art.
