San Jose Museum of Art

Established in 1969, the San Jose Museum of Art is a distinct voice in the San Francisco Bay Area arts community. The Museum is recognized for its contemporary collection, which reflects the West Coast contextualized by national and international visual art. The collection exhibits the unique evolution of the institution from a small civic art gallery to a museum in the tenth largest city in the United States.

he Museum is located in the heart of downtown San Jose, at the corner of Market and San Fernando streets. It is neighbors with St. Joseph's Basilica, the Fairmont Hotel, and the Knight Ridder building, and across the street from Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park.
