Founded in 1924 to preserve and share the rich history, art, and culture of Pasadena and neighboring communities, PMH has developed into one of the country’s premiere institutions of its size.

Designed to entertain as well as educate, the changing exhibitions in the Kathryn Beynon Foundation Exhibition Hall in the History Center address Pasadena’s diverse and multi-faceted community history.

The Mission of the Museum is to promote an appreciation of history, culture, arts, and sciences relevant to Pasadena and adjoining communities.
