A mecca for the artists around Marin County, this museum is more than just a gallery. The building’s many studios are used by local creators and you can stop by and chat with the painters and sculptors working here. Budding artists will find it particularly inspiring. The museum is unusually modern and dynamic for a small city, and exhibits are switched regularly in the large gallery space. The building itself, an off-the-wall take on the Spanish Mission style, is also well worth a look.

Novato’s history museum makes a good counterpoint to the local American Indian Museum. Together they tell the story of the Marin area’s two main cultures. A treasure trove of 19th-century bric-a-brac, it gives you a feel for what life was like in this old Californian town. The museum is the old postmaster’s house and the exhibits walk you through the area’s past using documents, artifacts, and oral histories. Head here before walking the old town to enrich your ambling.

Hamilton Field was an important local air force base during WWII and it would continue to run until 1974. This unassuming museum is one of the best in the region, despite frequently being overlooked. It’s free to visit and has a wonderful research library featuring a collection of documents from the war. Medals and equipment line the exhibits and, if you’re big a kid, the cockpit simulator here is lots of fun. The best thing about this museum is many veterans choose to work here, and they are often happy to share their knowledge and experience of 20th-century conflicts.
