Educational Resources

Although the 100 E. Main St. location is closed for construction, the Museum of Ventura County continues to be a valuable resource for teachers and families. 

We cannot offer visits to the Museum at this time, but we can still bring the Museum to your K-4th grade classroom through our School Outreach program.  Click on the link below to see descriptions of the programs and to register on-line.

We are still offering our summer programs, Chumash Youth and Art Start.  We will use the Albinger Museum, the Museum’s interim space in Ventura, and other downtown resources as sites for these programs.

Family Time fun will continue every third Sunday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at our interim space.  Click on the events calendar for dates and activities.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about these programs.
