New Museum Los Gatos, Art and history museum in Los Gatos, United States.
New Museum Los Gatos is an art museum with two gallery levels dedicated to contemporary works and displays about the region's past. The spaces showcase current artistic creations alongside information about how the area has changed and grown.
The museum was founded in 1965 as a cultural institution and moved to its current location on East Main Street in 2015. The relocation allowed for expanded gallery space and a broader range of programming.
The museum's name, NUMU, comes from New Museum Los Gatos, adopted when the former Museums of Los Gatos reopened in June 2015. Its MakerSpace hosts family art days and Girl Scout Badge programs, while the Flick Studio runs figure drawing, oil painting and embroidery classes for all levels.
The museum occupies a 6,000-square-foot building in the Los Gatos Civic Center at 106 E. Main Street, with galleries on two floors. Programs run both in person and virtually, so check the museum's own listings before travelling. The MakerSpace and Flick Studio host workshops and studio classes that may require booking ahead.
A dedicated Maker's Space within the building allows children to engage in hands-on craft activities throughout the year. This creative workshop area offers structured projects designed specifically for young visitors.
