Rent the Museum
Create your own affair to remember! The Bakersfield Museum of Art provides a unique setting for any occasion. Your celebration can be surrounded by local, national, and world-renowned art when you book a ceremony outside in the Museum’s lush gardens.
Tejon Sculpture Garden
The Museum’s gardens have gone through a series of transformations during its 60 plus-year history. The garden is home to numerous mature camellias, roses, and towering clumps of banana trees, as well as hundreds of plant species that serve as a wonderful example of plants that can be grown in our valley’s climate.
With something always in bloom, the garden is the perfect place for outdoor events. The Museum has been the venue for numerous fundraising events, receptions, and weddings. Even when the valley reaches a hundred degrees, there is always a patch of shade under the garden’s sycamores, pines, and ash trees. Looking for that secluded, special place to have lunch with a friend? Sit in the Museum gardens and enjoy the peace and quiet.
