Happened to fall into this museum after doing a search on Trip advisor. Glad I found it. A very small space but it was interesting and a great way to spend an hour or two. And when you go to Pacific Asian Museum next store the have a deal in admission. And there is free parking. Spend part of the... More

If the recent Edgar Payne exhibit is typical of this museum's shows, you should include a visit for certain. The show and probably all their shows feature work you will not see outside of California.

Attended the First Friday Open House for the Edgar Payne exhibit. The Museum offers a free first Friday, so this is a great opportunity to engage the community. The exhibit was well presented. We loved the gift shop and found many unique books as well as a poster from a past exhibit. The gift shop has unique children's items that... More

The PMCA is one of the most interesting museums in Southern California. It specializes in beautifully curated special exhibitions of California artists from the past and the present. At present there are two exhibits: LA RAW a historical survey of abstract expressionism ( or abject expressionism ) with interesting examples of paintings from native artists who by ans large went...
