Morris Graves Museum of Art
Enjoy the Arts in Humboldt County
In 1996, the Humboldt Arts Council began the Carnegie Restoration Project to save Eureka's historic building and transform it into a cultural center and regional art museum.
Opened on January 1, 2000 as the Morris Graves Museum of Art, the arts council's architectural treasure is now the crown jewel of the arts community. 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. A favorite spot during every First Saturday Arts Alive in Eureka.
