Education
A pillar of the museum's mission is to educate our community about the past present & future of the automobile. We have put emphasis on building programs that aim to help us fulfill our pursuit of that mission.
School Tours
We welcome all schools both large and small to come visit our museum. Please check out our lineup of school tour programs to find the best activity for your group’s age and interest level. Our docents can also customize your tour to meet time limits, grade levels, and special accommodations.
We are proud to offer school programs aligned with the Common Core Standards and California State Content Standards. The museum is open for school tours year round, so there is never a bad time to motor on down for a fun and educational field trip that will explore the automobile history.
Classes
The California Automobile Museum offers a wide variety of classes; from Model T driving to muscle car tune ups. For more information on any of these classes, or to request notification for future scheduling, write to director@calautomuseum.org.
