About Santa Barbara Museum Of Art

The Santa Barbara Museum of Art in Santa Barbara, California displays artworks from its permanent collection and hosts rotating exhibitions that visitors explore during a typical 60-minute visit. The museum offers classes and programs including Fall After-School Classes for ages 5 through 12 focused on topics like landscapes and dreamscapes, held on Tuesdays. Events range from conversations with authors and artists—such as discussions on quiltmaking and cotton histories—to First Thursday Robot Karaoke sessions. The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm, with extended hours until 8 pm on first Thursdays. A museum store in Preston Morton gallery complements featured exhibitions. Photography without flash is permitted throughout the galleries.
