Welcome to the Lancaster Museum of Art and History
The Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) dedicates its operations to celebrating diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and engagement within the immediate community. MOAH aims to reflect the rich history, culture, and people of the Antelope Valley. MOAH is committed to collecting and exhibiting multiple perspectives through contemporary art and history, bringing forth thought-provoking and engaging programming. Our collaborations and partnerships with organizations like the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), AV Seed and Grow, Art-In-Residence, and Art Bridges, among others, echo our efforts to provide an innovative curriculum to patrons of the museum.
History
Founded as the Lancaster Museum Art Gallery (LMAG) in 1986, the museum's first location is where the Antelope Valley Union District Office now sits. In 2012, the museum was completely revamped as MOAH with a new site, branding, and building. Since then, the museum has continued its expansion. There are now over 10,000 art pieces and artifacts in MOAH’s permanent collection, diverse and interactive art programs, hundreds of exhibitions, and four immersive locations with the City of Lancaster, including MOAH, the Elyze Clifford Interpretive Center, the Western Hotel Museum, and MOAH: CEDAR.
