Charming museum featuring local artists with a lovely sculpture garden & gazebo. Perfect for a wedding or event. It's a small museum with a great use of space. I really enjoyed all the exhibits. There was a beautiful black cat out in the sculpture garden who decided to walk the path with me. This museum is located in a park with a covered bridge and a trail by the water. Lots of parking available! Treat yourself to Bakersfiel Barbecue just across the way on the corner. This is conveniently located to quite a few interesting places to eat, shop & explore.

A cultural gem! The Bakersfield Museum of Art is truly a treasure in our community! I love how they showcase such a unique and diverse collection of artists, offering something fresh and inspiring for every visitor. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just looking to explore something new, there’s always something captivating on display.

One of my favorite parts of the museum is their annual events, which always bring the community together in a meaningful way. The Art After Dark Pride event is a standout, and I look forward to it every year. It's such a vibrant celebration of art, culture, and inclusion – the energy is always so positive and welcoming!

The museum’s commitment to fostering creativity and connection within the community is truly special. I highly recommend checking it out, whether it’s to experience the exhibitions or to participate in one of their incredible events.
