Lectures — The Museum hosts evening lectures several times throughout the year but for a modest fee we can bring the lecture to you!  Whether on-island or mainland, our Speakers Bureau will travel to your location and deliver a 30-60 minute lecture and PowerPoint slide show at your venue.  Topics immediately available include:

~ Catalina's Steamship Era

Customized lectures are also available.  For additional topics and more information call 310-510-4650.

School Classes —  We love to share Catalina’s history with kids of all ages.  Call ahead to arrange a visit.  Our trained docents can present a unit to your class or assist your students during a more informal visit.  We also have questionnaires already prepared if you’d like to give your students a worksheet tailor-made for our exhibits.  Call to book your class at 310-510-2414 or contact us via email. 

Private Groups —  A variety of events can be arranged for your group.  A private walking tour through Avalon or a lecture on a specific topic at the museum or your venue, even small receptions can be booked at the Museum.  Please contact us to discuss your needs!
