Then and Now History from two Perspectives

Have you ever wondered what Santa Monica looked like perhaps before your time compared to a more recent time? 

Take a journey into the past and see several locations from within the city of Santa Monica, from store fronts, buildings, malls and more.

Come back often to see more Then & Now photos here or come into the Museum to use our interactive feature found in our A Town in the Arts exhibition room.
