About de Saisset Museum

The de Saisset Museum sits in the middle of Santa Clara University's campus, beside Mission Santa Clara de Asís. It holds a large collection of art and historical objects, including works by early California artist Ernest de Saisset and many California mission artifacts. Exhibitions follow the university's academic calendar, so galleries may close during breaks. Visitors can plan around the posted weekly hours.
