The Santa Monica History Museum will remain closed and all events postponed until we are advised by federal, state and local officials that it is safe to re-open and resume a normal operating schedule.
We recommend you continue to consult our website and social media platforms for the most up-to-date information.
THROWBACK THURSDAYS Lecture Series
Join us for Throwback Thursday!
Every other Thursday this summer the Santa Monica History Museum will be hosting a series of guest lectures. The lectures are free but attendees are encouraged to make a donation of their choosing to help support museum operations during the COVID- 19 shutdown.
All are welcome! View virtually with family and friends and enjoy an hour of local history.
You can also request a calendar invite to each week’s program by emailing [email protected].
