In 2025, fifty-one years after the Museum was founded in St Helena, and twenty-five years after the Museum built the current facility on the Veterans Home property in Yountville, the Museum expanded to a new flagship location: The Napa Valley Museum of Art & Culture (“The MAC”) just south of St Helena on the former site of Dean & Deluca, across Highway 29 from the popular V Sattui Winery, and adjacent to Under-Study, the new culinary marketplace and counter-service café by the Michelin-starred team from PRESS Restaurant.
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. It will house many of the exhibitions being developed for touring under the NVM on Tour program, an incubator of original, innovative exhibitions that spark curiosity, deepen engagement, and extend the Museum’s reach while providing support for our mission. Be the first to see these unmissable exhibitions as they debut!
The Museum’s expansion to this more visible and accessible location was intended to dramatically increase the impact of its arts and education programs, ensuring the Museum’s long-term sustainability and the accomplishment of its mission. The move was supported in part by a generous gift from the Ron and Diane Disney Miller Fund, with additional support from the County of Napa and other generous contributors.
