de Saisset Museum is located on the grounds of Santa Clara University, adjacent to Mission Santa Clara. Founded in 1955, the museum began as an art gallery showing about one hundred works by the painter Ernest de Saisset. The museum now has a dual focus on art and history, and has a mandate for education through diverse and accessible exhibits.
The de Saisset Museum concentrates on art from the San Francisco Bay Area and the Santa Clara Valley, but also houses European and American art works from the Renaissance forward. The historical part of the museum has an excellent collection of Mission-era liturgical vestments and an exhibit on California history.
