About The Museum of the San Fernando Valley The Museum of the San Fernando Valley is in its developmental stage; obtaining input and gathering support from valley residents, gaining support from the business, public, private, and non-profit sectors. The Museum’s organizational goals and objectives will always be a work-in-progress; to meet the changing needs of a dynamic society. At the present, the San Fernando Valley has no significant museum of history and culture, which serves the entire Valley residential population. The Museum of the San Fernando Valley is an educational and cultural institution. Its purpose is to acquire, display, and preserve artifacts, documents and records related to the San Fernando Valley and its residents. It strives to accomplish this through interactive exhibits, an interactive website, tours for schools and organizations, performances, lectures and an artifact loan program for San Fernando Valley schools. The Museum's collections of art and historical items exist for scholarly research and for public enjoyment. The Museum collects, preserves, and shares with the entire San Fernando Valley important works of art as well as folk art and crafts.
