Famous artists on exhibit. Exhibition rotates about every 8 weeks. Saw works by Van Gogh, Monet, Grandma Moses, etc. Lovely way to spend a few hours. Also a very nice gift shop with unique items. more »

Context: their building is being renovated, they chose to remain open at half the price with "selected pieces" on display. This was huge a disappointment as I came here for their Asian art, but most of the small open section was French/European artists... Half the space was taken by temporary exhibit, and a whole room by a single art piece. I think by trying to satisfy everyone they probably disappointed most visitors, and should have closed during renovations.

Anticipating a great renovation here based on the way this museum has been in the past. Call first to see the status of the galleries open.

Knowledgeable staff proud of the gallery who were quite helpful. The exhibition was hung with great care. The learning center, a small room located halfway through the exhibition, allows one to explore what influenced the artist and give insight into their creative processes. MCA Santa Barbara is a gem Also, parking is easy. I didn't find it crowded, but should be.

Amazing museum...small but full of great paints and sculptures! You can see Van Gogh's, Monet's and more!

Really nice, compact art gallery / museum. I wasn't personally a fan of one of the temporary main features when I went, but that's no criticism of the venue itself. Some really interesting paintings on the other hand. Free to go in, and a good gift shop with quality items on sale.
