The Richmond Museum of History & Culture is the most significant local history museum in West Contra Costa County. The museum is housed in a Carnegie Library built in 1910 that boasts a permanent exhibit gallery and a space for temporary exhibits and special events. The Museum draws from their extensive permanent collection of artifacts, photographs, and documents to host educational programs and exhibitions for the benefit of the public.
