About this place

A museum dedicated to preserving the history of Santa Monica and the surrounding bay area. Families can explore changing exhibitions that cover topics including the city's relationship with nature and urban growth, pioneering women in the community, food traditions and cultural heritage in Southern California, and the local airport's role in shaping the region. The museum holds an extensive photograph collection documenting Santa Monica's past, with many images available as prints. A research library serves those seeking historical information, accessible by appointment.

If you are a member here

A membership to Santa Monica History Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
