(805) 653-0323 |
| From the mundane to the sublime, precious items, oddities and works of art from the collection, some never before shown in a museum setting. See priceless Chumash baskets, as well as the unexpected: the claws of Old Three Toes, a legendary bear who roamed the Sespe in 1780; an albino pocket gopher; and a Humboldt Penguin raised in an aviary in Fillmore. The museum began in 1913 when it opened with a collection of objects acquired by local doctor Cephas Bard, who came to Ventura after the Civil War and who often accepted historical objects in lieu of cash payment for his services. Today the museum collection contains more than 30,000 works of art and artifacts. MORE

The Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island
Natural History
|
| Museum of Ventura County
|
(805) 653-0323 |
| Highlighting a figure of both fact and fiction, this exhibition explores the different perceptions developed around the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island, as people have sought the elusive truth about her. Celebrated in legend and books such as the children's classic "Island of the Blue Dolphins," this San Nicolas islander was left alone in 1835 on one of the most remote of the Channel Islands, until she was found and brought in 1853 to Santa Barbara, where she died within weeks of her arrival. The exhibit includes a specially commissioned, one-quarter life-size figure of the Lone Woman by artist George Stuart. MORE
