Statement of Purpose
The de Saisset Museum was built adjacent to Mission Santa Clara in 1955 through a generous bequest from Isabel de Saisset in memory of her brother, Ernest.
Since its founding, the museum has developed into a unigue art and history museum.
The de Saisset Muserrm is the caretaker of the University's California History Collection, which includes historic and ethnographic artifacts from the pre-contact Native American period, through the founding of the Franciscan Mission in 1777, to the early days of Santa Clara College.
The museum's permanent collection includes a wide range of art and ethnographic objects from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe.
The collection of contemporary prints and Photographs is particularly strong, including works by Ansel Adams, Ruth Bernhard, David Best, Bruce Connor, Sam Francis, Annie Leibovitz, Nathan Oliviera, and Edward Weston.
The de Saisset Museum presents changing art exhibitions, lectures, readings, concerts, films, and tours throughout the year.
The museum is open free to the public Tuesday-Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
during scheduled exhibitions.
For more information call 408-554-4528.
