The Foster Museum, Watercolor art museum in Palo Alto, United States.
The Foster Museum displays watercolor paintings depicting wilderness landscapes, environmental scenes, and natural habitats from various locations around the world.
The 14,000-square-foot building served as an ambulance storage facility for Lucille Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford until its transformation into a museum in 2014.
The museum presents Tony Foster's extensive collection of watercolor paintings that document remote natural locations and raise awareness about environmental conservation.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, and on weekends from noon to 4:00 PM, with free admission.
Each artwork contains detailed field notes, maps, and collected specimens that provide scientific context to the painted wilderness locations.
