The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History is a small museum in Pacific Grove, California, operating within the museums and natural history sector. It serves as a living field guide to the California Central Coast, presenting exhibits on local birds, wildlife, plants, geology, and regional culture. Its holdings include one of the West Coast's most extensive mounted bird collections and a monarch butterfly exhibit. The museum's mission is to inspire wonder, discovery, and stewardship of the natural world for visitors and learners. In addition to in-person exhibitions, it has expanded outreach through online programming, notably launching Museum to You in 2020, and it sits in downtown Pacific Grove near the beach and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
