A Celebration of Science, Art, Culture, and Community

Pacific Grove, CA – March 9, 2025 – The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, a cornerstone of education and environmental stewardship on California’s Central Coast, announces its upcoming exhibits and events for 2025. This season’s programming continues the Museum’s mission to inspire curiosity, appreciation, and conservation of the natural world through art, history, and science.

From the breathtaking world of scientific illustration to the deep cultural and ecological narratives of jade, each exhibit and event is a testament to the Museum’s commitment to preserving and sharing the stories of our region. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in nature’s beauty, explore its connections to human history, and engage with thought-provoking contemporary art.

Honoring Pacific Grove’s Chinese Fishing Community

The Walk of Remembrance is an annual journey through history, paying tribute to the Chinese Fishing Village at Point Alones and the vital role its community played in shaping Pacific Grove and all of Monterey County. Led by local historians and descendants, this powerful story sheds light on the resilience, contributions, and injustices faced by early Chinese immigrants in Monterey Bay and reminds attendees that the descendants are still here, still doing incredible things, and still facing many of the same issues with racism and vitriol their forebearers did. As visitors walk the path of history, they will engage with stories of perseverance and cultural heritage, gaining a deeper understanding of the people who built and sustained an essential fishing industry that has fueled not just Monterey County but the entire United States for well over a century. The event aligns with the Museum’s dedication to preserving and sharing the diverse cultural narratives that define the Monterey Peninsula.

Date & Time: Saturday, May 10, 2025, activities starting at 11am, rally and walk starting at 1pm.
A CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION AND CONSERVATION

The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History is more than a place to explore exhibits—it is a community space dedicated to inspiring a deeper understanding of the natural world. Each of these exhibits and events embodies the Museum’s mission to celebrate biodiversity, honor cultural heritage, and foster a passion for preservation among visitors of all ages.
