Santa Monica Museum & Hangar Event Venue for Events & Filming in Los Angeles | EVENT VENUE #54
Event Venue #54 is a 21,940-square-foot museum event venue in Santa Monica, where hanging aircraft and exhibits turn a working museum into one of the Westside's most distinctive gathering spaces. The ground floor spans 19,287 square feet and holds up to 600 guests (350–400 for a seated reception with tables and chairs), while a 2,653-square-foot mezzanine seats up to 50 above the action. Ceilings run 8 to 12 feet across the main floor beneath the suspended planes and displays, with a hangar door for dramatic load-in and indoor-outdoor flow. Numerous 110–120v outlets are spread across both floors, and parking includes on-site spaces plus additional city lots reservable through Santa Monica's event-permit process. It's a rare, ready-made backdrop for galas, brand activations, launches, and film shoots alike.
