Welcome
Located on the campus of San Bernardino High School, The Cardinal City Museum opened its doors to the public in the fall of 1963. Since then, the museum seeks to become a major cultural center in the region.
In 2018, the CCM ignited the flame of change within our organization to grow and become a 21st century museum. In the last couple of years the museum has seen historic investments from never before seen technology such as S.P.A.R.K-E the robot that will welcome our guest to a state of the art museum building.
Since then the museum has taken the lead to restore the Victory Bell as well as historical paintings on campus, and work on the maintenance of campus display cases. We have cleaned, organized and properly archived all of our historical objects for the first time. The museum has reconnected with our alumni and community and has joined the American Alliance of Museums whose mission is to champion equitable and impactful museums by connecting people, fostering learning and community, and nurturing museum excellence.
The Pledge of Excellence:
The CCM has joined The Pledge of Excellence as an easy and achievable step along your museum's path to excellence, and a way to show your museum's commitment to being a good steward of the resources it holds in the public trust.
