Triton Museum of Art

The museum was founded in 1965 in San Jose, California, by rancher, lawyer and art patron W. Robert Morgan and his wife June. It is the oldest non-university museum in Santa Clara County. Less than two years after its opening, the Triton Museum moved to its current location in Santa Clara, California. The spacious design of the building was created for versatile art presentation, as well as an aesthetically pleasing experience for the museum visitors. == About ==
