Sonoma County Museum

The Sonoma County Museum is an art and history museum in Santa Rosa that displays regional artworks and historical objects across multiple gallery spaces. The collection documents the development of the county and the people who have shaped it over many decades.

The museum was established to preserve the history of Sonoma County from early settlement through modern times. Its collections show how the community developed through different phases of California's growth and change.

The museum displays artworks by regional artists alongside objects that tell the diverse stories of Northern California communities. The exhibitions reflect how people have lived and worked in this area through different times.

The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday and is fully wheelchair accessible throughout all galleries. Visitors can take their time exploring since the spaces are well-arranged and there are comfortable areas to rest between galleries.

The museum holds a surprisingly large collection of everyday objects from the lives of earlier residents, not just famous artworks. These personal items give visitors a more direct sense of how people actually lived in past times.
