The Santa Barbara Museum of Art is an art museum located at 1130 State St. in downtown Santa Barbara, California. This little jewel of a museum feels more like the private gallery of a wealthy collector. Its leaning is toward early 20th century Western American paintings and 19th and 20th century Asian art, but the best displays might be the antiquities and Chinese ceramics. In addition, there are often visiting exhibits featuring small but excellent collections from other establishments.
