With
over 100
museums and galleries, the Monterey
Peninsula has developed into a
mecca for the visual artist. The
Monterey Museum of Arts boasts
one of the premier photographic
and early California painting
collections in the world with
an eclectic blend of rotating
exhibitions often featuring the
finest artists that our area has
to offer.
The incredible
assortment of galleries
to choose from can be an irresistible
temptation for the visitor. Everything
from painting and sculpture to
glass works and jewelry is featured
in the area shops. Long regarded
as a special site for artists
to gather and produce, the Peninsula
and its rich artistic heritage
are truly unique and offer the
visitor an experience unequalled
in the world.
And for
those interested in history
or the natural sciences there's
plenty to choose from, too. As
the original sight of the government
of California, Monterey offers
a fascinating look back at our
heritage in a diverse assortment
of historical buildings and documents.
And the "new" Monterey is in no
way better expressed than through
the world class Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Regarded as a leading institution
for research and education, the
Monterey Bay Aquarium is a moving
experience providing a spectacular
view of life in the Monterey Bay.
The National Steinbeck Center
in Salinas is cultural
tourism at its best, offering
a journey through author John
Steinbeck's life and works with
interactive exhibits for all ages.
