A variety of collections and cozy atmosphere, but I would love to see more exhibits of modern art.
Hidden gem in an office building on the corner of Wilbur and Nordhoff! Very knowledgeable staff and interesting exhibits from San Fernando Valley history. Very convenient free parking, and wheelchair accessible with an elevator to the second floor Museum location. Admission is free, but of course donations are half family accepted.
The first thing you should know about The Museum of The San Fernando Valley is that hey are only open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 1-5pm. The second thing you should know about The Museum of The San Fernando Valley is that there is nearly zero signage from the street. Trust the address and park anywhere in the (free) lot. There is only very missable sign that can only be seen if you catch it as you’re drink bing in the driveway. As you enter the commercial building filled with other businesses, go to the second floor (elevator is available for those who need it) and find your way to suite 204.
There you’ll find it! This museum is very small, but it has a big heart. The caretaker I spoke with was VERY enthusiastic, informative and appreciative that we were there. It wasn’t empty as there were at least three other parties. The docent did a great job of making sure everyone received attention. Maybe even a hint too much as I was happy to explore on my own. She was great though.
There is a room that had wonderful art that I believe is a lot sting exhibit. Then there are some other things to see. I especially liked the Vincent Price head cast! In the back there is an exhibit in mid century modern houses and they’re working on an exhibit about the dwarf sports teams that used to be a part of SFV culture. Maybe my favorite things were the “Now-and-then” photos and the menus of old defunct sfv restaurants.
I might have given this museum a lesser rating but I make it a rule to never give a free museum less than 4 stars. The people who work here are hard working volunteers who do their best to preserve history as best they can. I hope that we’ll see this grow. I wonder if there could be a collaboration with the much larger Valley Relics Museum. Where Valley Relics has an infinitely more impressive collection of artifacts, I wonder if The Museum of San Fernando Valley’s historical expertise could help tell the story of those artifacts.
At any rate... this is a free museum with free parking! Check it out! Maybe organize s trip to several small museums in the area on one day!
A real find packed with vintage posters, rare photography, fine art and more. The focus is all on the unique history and rich cultural diversity of the San Fernando Valley!
It's quaint but holds so much in it's museum that is directly related to the valley. They also have these awesome event with local artists involving meet and greets along with grander events for the members. As a valley native, this place is my own library for valley culture. They even have a huge archival library available did browsing.

The Museum of the San Fernando Valley is a nascent nucleus for mostly nostalgia of 20th century Americana. The main thrust of the exhibits is mostly in the 1940's, 50's, 60's, and the "industry" since the SFV is rather close to Hollywood & many movie stars had their homes here as well as being the site of movie locations especially pre WWII.
