At The Museum
Military Presence in Alta California
The military played an important roll throughout the Spanish colonization of Alta California. Laws imposed by Spain and the mandates of the Church created conditions for the exploitation of the native culture that had existed here for thousands of years prior to the arrival of the Spanish conquerors.
"Artists at the Mission"
A one year membership program through the Museum offering artists an opportunity to paint and draw in private areas of the Mission generally not open to the public.
Inspirational Thought
Someone has said that a poet is a man with keen vision, exquisite sensitivity, a great heart, and a deep conviction of the external. St. Francis saw the wild flowers of the fields, but even more he saw the hand of God that made them.
St. Francis of Assisi
