Future Preservation & Conservation

The Museum at Carmel Mission has over 1,500 artifacts on display, many that predate the 1771 founding of Carmel Mission. The foundation aims to support conservation work that properly preserves the Mission's collection of historically significant items including artwork, furniture, books, documents and photography, textiles/vestments, native artifacts, statues, sculptures, and liturgical silver.
