San Jose Museum of Art

Established in 1969, the San Jose Museum of Art is a distinct voice in the Bay Area arts community. The Museum is recognized for its contemporary collection, which reflects the West Coast contextualized by national and international visual art. The collection exhibits the unique evolution of the institution from a small civic art gallery to a museum in the tenth largest city in the United States.

It is located in the heart of downtown San Jose, at the corner of Market and San Fernando streets. It is located near the Fairmont Hotel and across the street from Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park.
