What began over 50 years ago as a small museum dedicated to local history has evolved into today’s Napa Valley Museum — a vibrant cultural institution presenting innovative exhibitions of art, nature, and history to engage and inspire visitors from around the world. As many other museums are contracting or closing, Napa Valley Museum is expanding to two locations: the Napa Valley Museum Yountville (“The NVMY”) and a new flagship location: the Napa Valley Museum of Art & Culture (“The MAC”) in St. Helena, adjacent to Under-Study, the new café from the Michelin-starred team at PRESS. 

Napa Valley Museum is redefining what a regional museum can be. The MAC serves as a presenter of major exhibitions illuminating the cultural movements, historical moments, and artistic explorations that shape how we see the world. The NVMY houses our permanent collection and presents exhibitions, educational programs, and events that emphasize the region’s art, culture, and history. NVM on Tour is an incubator of original, innovative exhibitions that spark curiosity, deepen engagement, and extend the Museum’s reach while providing support for our mission. Through its growing physical and digital presence, Napa Valley Museum celebrates all forms of creative expression, curating unmissable moments in arts and culture.
