Casa Dolores, Mexican folk art museum in Santa Barbara, United States.

Casa Dolores is a museum in Santa Barbara that houses over 6,000 objects made from clay, wood, ceramic, natural fibers, leather, paper, glass, and tin. The collection features handcrafted works from various regions across Mexico.

Casa Dolores occupies the Botiller Adobe at 1023 Bath Street, built in 1843 and the oldest standing two-story adobe in Santa Barbara. The Pascual Botiller family built and owned the house until 1969. Art historian Linda Cathcart purchased the building in 2007 and it now holds her collection of Mexican popular art.

The museum displays works from different Mexican regions, allowing visitors to experience the craft traditions and regional characteristics firsthand. The pieces on display tell stories of everyday skills and the artistic heritage of Mexican communities.

The museum offers temporary exhibitions, art workshops, presentations, film series, and public events for the community throughout the year. Visitors should plan ahead as the program changes regularly and special events occur at different times of the season.

The collection spans Pre-Hispanic pieces to work by living makers, including Talavera from Puebla, alebrijes from Oaxaca and Huichol art from the western highlands. Named artists range from Josefina Aguilar and Teodora Blanco to Candelario Medrano, Abelardo Ruiz, Rosa Real de Nieto and the Linares family.
