The Carnegie Art Museum is a public art museum owned by the City of Oxnard, California in the building originally occupied by the Oxnard Public Library. The Neo-Classical building, located adjacent to Oxnard's Plaza Park, opened in 1907 as the Oxnard Public Library and was converted into an art museum in 1986.[2] In July 1971, it became the first building in Ventura County and the first Carnegie library in California[3] to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
