Come see Jason Lehr's incredible talent in his exhibition Unreliable Narrator, in our Anderson Gallery until May 18th! His work creates shifting narratives of working-class male identity, fragments of text and familiar images in new context giving flashbulb glimpses of narrative action.

The museum celebrates its 25th year! #Humboldt County has a rich history of art, and Morris Graves a strong legacy of supporting the NorCal #art community. Is it any wonder so many residents have a penchant for nature photography with the beautiful #redwoods?

Our juried exhibition and competition Images of Water is still on view until the 20th. One of our most popular, come see all the ways our county's photographers highlight the inspiring beauty of water, from iconic prints of Humboldt beach waves to snapshots capturing water's place in our daily life!
