Yosemite National Park is not only a haven of natural beauty but also a rich tapestry of art and culture. For centuries, the park has inspired artists, photographers, and storytellers—most famously Ansel Adams, whose black-and-white images helped define Yosemite’s iconic status. The cultural heritage of the Ahwahneechee people, indigenous to the Yosemite Valley, remains a vital part of the park’s story, with traditions, crafts, and storytelling preserved through exhibits and events. Today, visitors can explore galleries, attend seasonal art workshops, and engage with Native American history through interpretive programs, making Yosemite a living canvas of creativity and cultural legacy.
