Chumash Museum and Cultural Center

The Chumash Museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history and vibrant culture of the Chumash people. 

We invite you to explore our exhibits, both temporary and permanent, and discover the stories of resilience, tradition, and community that have shaped our heritage.

Drawing inspiration from the Chumash cultural landscape, our museum stands as a testament to the Chumash people’s indomitable spirit.
Terra cotta tile, local stone, and adobe-like concrete bricks merge with native plants, boulders, and man-made water features, creating an immersive environment that resonates with the echoes of our past.
Here, our stories unfold, increasing public awareness of our continuing legacy in the region. We hope you will share our sense of pride in our heritage and become a part of our enduring story.

Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday 10am-5pm
