Museum of Monterey
Museum of Monterey Review
The former Monterey Maritime Museum still displays maritime artifacts but has expanded its focus to include art, photography, and costumes from Monterey's earliest days to the present. The jewel in the museum's crown remains the enormous Fresnel lens from the Point Sur Light Station.
