Photography Exhibit

Now Open | July 9–September 13, 2026

Step behind the scenes of one of Monterey’s most significant preservation projects with Hidden Stewards: Documentation Photography of the Cooper-Molera Restoration by Marcia F. DeVoe.

Guest curated by Artist/Preparator Megan Goodwin, this new exhibition showcases the remarkable photographs of Marcia F. DeVoe, whose volunteer work documented the restoration of Cooper-Molera Adobe, led by California State Parks, from 1976–1985. Through her lens, discover the archaeology, architecture, and the often-overlooked people—especially the women—whose dedication helped preserve this National Trust Historic Site for future generations.

The exhibition is included with general museum admission and museum open Thursdays-Sundays, 10:00am-2:00pm.

Exhibition is kindly supported by the Marcia F. DeVoe Fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County.
