The Napa Valley Museum currently features changing art exhibitions and permanent history collections. The opening of the newly-developed history gallery showcases the permanent exhibit "Land and People of the Napa Valley" and features rare artifacts on display for the first time in 25 years.

The new Children's Exploration Corner invites children to learn about the art, history and environment of the region through hands-on exploration of objects including a bird's nest, rocks and gems, a Chinese parasol, and an assortment of objects found in the museum's popular Trunk Program displays.
