Discover upcoming Museum of Ventura County events and programs at both our Downtown Ventura and Santa Paula locations. From kid-centric to family friendly to educational, MVC invites our community and visitors to enjoy learning about our culture, art and history through interactive, fun experiences.

Voices of Ventura County
Voices of Ventura County Digitized Oral Histories is a remarkable collection that commemorates the rich tapestry of Ventura County’s history over the past 150 years. We invite you to participate in the stories of our community— these oral histories shed light on the County’s evolution.

150th Feast or Flop
Working with regional chefs, MVC Collections Manager Renee Tallent attempts to recreate dishes from recipes tucked away for years in the Museum of Ventura County’s archives. Go on a journey through our county’s history to see if the recipes are a delicious Feast or a disastrous Flop?
Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Museum of Ventura County can continue to offer free admission in 2023.
Providing free admission gives our entire Ventura County community access to culturally significant activities, events, art, and historical artifacts. Now more than ever, community connection is something to cherish.
Programming at your Museum of Ventura County is made possible by sponsors and supporters just like you.
