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.
