We arrived when the museum was between shows, so only the upstairs exhibition of California Impressionism was open. The pictures were nice, but not very many of them. Check ahead! More

I love smaller art museums because you can stop and spend time with each piece with no pressure to get through dozens of rooms. This museum had a fine show by an emerging California artist and well presented show by some earlier artists. Good labels with interesting context made the visit very enjoyable. More

The Richard Diebenkorn exhibit was great, with a large variety of his works. The museum is small but spacious enough for a single artist's exhibit. Good light and traffic flow. Gift shop was very small and not much selection related to the exhibit. More

Going to the laguna Art Museum is always a treat. They have a permanent collection of California art and always have something unique and really well researched and presented. It's not very big and parking is difficult, but it's always worth it - and the kids always enjoy the excursion too. More

The Laguna Art museum is a nice afternoon visit if you're looking for something to do indoors to get a break from the sun. In addition, it's within walking distance of Laguna Shores! More
