The Morris Graves Museum of Art is located in Eureka, California. It was named after Morris Graves, a painter and founder of the Northwest School of Art in the Pacific Northwest. Prior to his death in 2001, he donated a substantial portion of his personal art collection, including some of his own works, and the use of his name to help with creation of the museum. It is located in the refurbished Eureka Carnegie Library building, which was the first Carnegie Library completed in California in 1904.
The museum is a member of the North American Reciprocal Museums program.
