IT'S ABOUT TIME VENICE
HAD ITS OWN MUSEUM.

Opened July 4, 1905, “Venice of America” has become
an epicenter of creativity and diversity, spanning art,
music, film, literature, style, and more, with an internationally
renowned cultural footprint. ​

At its heart is an eclectic and passionate community.

The Venice Heritage Museum will represent and honor
all generations of Venice's diverse cultural heritage
— improving the present with the past --
at our vibrant center for the community.

The Museum will be a hub for Venetians, Angelenos,
and the millions of visitors who come to Venice each year to preserve,
explore, and celebrate all there is to love about our city.

Since launching our first capital campaign in 2021, we have ​raised over
$250,000 to bring Venice's first-ever museum to life!
We are on our way + still need your support.

2022 was a banner year for our organization's cultural heritage events & exhibitions, archival work, and the launch of the ​VHM Oral History Project.

Now, we have exciting new plans underway:
The Venice Heritage Museum is opening its first-ever gallery in 2023!
Please join us + make a donation as we prepare to open our doors.

We're excited to present the 2nd Annual VHM Film Festival
on Saturday, October 7th at the Main Street Design Center!
