The Foster Museum

The Foster Museum is a private non-profit single-artist museum located in Palo Alto, California, United States dedicated to the watercolor wilderness Journeys of artist-explorer Tony Foster (1946–). It houses the permanent collection of the Foster Art & Wilderness Foundation and opened to the public in 2016, offering free admission by appointment.

History
Formerly the ambulance storage facility for Lucille Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford until 2014, the 14,000 square foot building was then redeveloped to house The Foster Museum. This project was awarded LEED silver certification from the USGBC. The museum opened in 2016 to unite and share complete Tony Foster Journeys, and inspire connection to both Foster's art and the natural world.
