One hundred years ago, John Cotton Dana, founder of the Newark Museum and godfather of modern museums, famously said: “A great department store, easily reached, open at all hours, is more like a good museum of art than any of the museums we have yet established." All were given value. They offered genuinely interesting learning experiences.

Community First Program Design At the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History , we've gravitated towards a "community first" program planning model.
