Benton Museum of Art, Art museum in Claremont, United States.
The Benton Museum of Art is an art museum in Claremont housing a collection of approximately 18,000 objects spanning different periods and cultures. Its holdings include Italian Renaissance paintings and works on paper that came from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
The institution was founded in 1958 as the Gladys K. Montgomery Art Center before adopting its current name. In 2020 it moved into a new building designed by architects Machado Silvetti and Gensler.
The museum displays works by Pomona College alumni including Chris Burden, Marcia Hafif, and Helen Pashgian throughout its exhibition spaces. This focus reflects the institution's deep connection to the local artistic community.
The museum offers free admission and sits in an accessible location in downtown Claremont on College Avenue. Regular opening hours make it easy to visit the exhibitions at your own pace.
The museum has run the Project Series program since 1999, presenting more than 50 exhibitions dedicated to Southern California artists. This commitment underscores its role in supporting local artistic voices and experimental work.
