The museum's galleries are redesigned for each exhibition, surprising visitors with a fresh, exciting visual transformation for every new exhibit.
Besides exhibitions, Oceanside Museum of Art offers art instruction at the Oceanside Museum of Art School of Art, chamber music in the museum galleries as part of the Pier View Way Concert Series in partnership with St. Mary, Star of the Sea Church, bus tours to other art museums in Southern California, lectures, workshops and museum tours for school classes and community groups led by the museum's experienced docents.
