I loved it fun for all ages!!!

We really love catching an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santa Barbara when we can. They don't always have exhibits going, so it pays to check their website first to make sure they're open. It's not a huge museum, but it's free to the public so who can complain? They've been around for over 50 years, the exhibits are always very interesting, as are the events they occasionally offer. Did I mention free? Here's hoping the temporary closure is safely lifted soon. Hours Sunday:Noon - 5 pm Monday: Closed Tuesday:Closed Wednesday:11 - 5 pm Thursday:11 - 8 pm Friday:11 - 5 pm Saturday:11 - 5 pm

Wonderful shows and events here, and lectures and presentations of all kinds. I went to a free lecture about natural pigments used in Native American rock art, very interesting.

This museum is small but in a good way. It's easy to see the whole thing in an hour and move on with your day. I could see someone spending 2 hours here having some discussions about the art and really taking it in.

Amazing place, great exhibitions of contemporary work from local, California, national and international artists. Lots of programming too, lectures, trips, tours, children's activities, far too much to list. It's really a gem in the community and a reason in itself to come to SB for a visit.

Ever since I came here in 2011 to see the "Home Show, Revisited" exhibition, I knew that MCASB (at the time, SB Contemporary Arts Forum) was a cutting-edge and impressive venue for contemporary art. I sat on blankets at a house in Carpinteria and watched Jennifer West's Jellybowl film at dusk, thinking that it was such an amazing art experience... so specific to the West Coast and to my community. They also offer great educational programs, a 24-hour drawing rally, and intricate themed dinners in their Crave series. Worth checking out!

Contemporary art is always intriguing. Some very interesting pieces in a small area. Nice short departure from all of the shopping on State Street.

Wow- first visit. Great show. Exhibition space is innovative & professional. Inspiring

Great museum. Will be back. While en route to the parking garage, did I miss something? He appears to be the only kid in a spider man outfit....(bizzare.) Third person in less that 9 days (Spiderman outfits)
