The historic hand-crafted structure was the dream home of Viggo Brandt-Erichsen and his wife, Martha Mott. He was an internationally recognized painter and sculptor and she was an accomplished painter and art teacher. In 1950 the Brandt-Erichsens began building their home in the style derived from the large farmhouses of 18th century Jutland in northern Denmark. They incorporated many elements of Scandinavian architecture. Ornamental wrought ironwork, a carved redwood main entry door, and hand-painted panels are a few of the permanent imprints of this remarkable family.

Welcome to the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum located at the Santa Barbara Harbor. The museum's structure was formerly known as the Old Naval Reserve Center and was built by the Federal Government's Works Project Administration (WPA) program during the late 1930s through early 1940s. In 1942 the City of Santa Barbara sold the Naval Reserve Center for $1 to the Federal Government to support the war effort. The facility was then used as a U.S. Navy training facility from 1942 until 1995 when the U.S. Navy moved out of the building. Construction began on the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum after it was sold back to the City of Santa Barbara in 1999.
The Museum opened its doors to the public on July 29, 2000 and today the Maritime Museum continues to grow, adding new permanent exhibits while offering a wide variety of traveling exhibitions set inside of nearly 8,000 square feet of Museum space. The Maritime Museum also offers a wide range of educational programs including docent tours, summer camps and overnight Tall Ship stays. Admission also includes a series of films shown daily in our large screen, high-definition Munger Theater.
