Morris Graves Museum of Art

Enjoy the Arts in Humboldt County

The building gracefully houses seven premier galleries; a young artists' academy; a performance rotunda for music, dance and the literary arts; and the administrative offices of the Humboldt Arts Council.

Admission: 5 adults, $2 seniors/students, 17 and under free.
