Where is the Benton Museum of Art?
The Benton Museum of Art is located at Cal Poly Pomona. That campus address is the key detail for planning your trip; don’t confuse the museum with the university’s separate Kellogg Art Gallery.
The Kellogg Art Gallery is in Building 35A, on the north side of the Bronco Student Center and across from the University Library. Its location and visitor information apply to that gallery, not automatically to the Benton Museum of Art.
What should you expect from the collection and exhibitions?
Exhibitions and collection details can change, so confirm what is on view through the museum’s official channels before you make plans. Current exhibition information, photography rules, and visitor access could not be verified.
Keep the distinction between the Benton Museum of Art and Kellogg Art Gallery in mind when checking listings: the two are separate campus venues, and information for one does not establish what to expect at the other.
How do you get to the museum?
Driving from Travelodge by Wyndham Fairplex Pomona takes about 10 minutes. For the general campus approach from the 10 Freeway, Cal Poly Pomona directs drivers to exit at Kellogg Drive and follow it to the Visitor Parking Booth.
Campus vehicles need a parking permit. The university offers daily digital permits through PayByPhone, purchased on the day of use; check the university’s parking information for current requirements before driving onto campus.
For public transit, Foothill Transit and Metro buses stop at Temple Avenue and South Campus Drive. From that stop, you can walk to the main campus or take the Bronco Express.

Do not use the Kellogg Art Gallery’s free-admission information as a guide to Benton Museum of Art admission: it describes a separate gallery.
Can you pair the museum with downtown Pomona?
You can plan the museum as one part of a Pomona outing and continue into downtown Pomona separately. For context on the downtown area, what to know about visiting downtown Pomona can help shape that part of your plans.
