Million dollar view of beach at very reasonable prices. Café has coffee and bakery but also great sandwiches which is part of the museum. Can't go wrong or I buy lunch!
We attended a great time at the No Kid Should Go Hungry. .sponsored by Purple Yoga in Long Beach and Fullerton. .it was a Grand Spiritual evening at a phenomenal location. CHECK IT OUT
Good food quiet setting parking great ocean view including Catalina Island also a wonderful art museum
It was wonderful seeing the art displays at the Long Beach Museum of Art. We had a family artist in town and took her there. They also had an exhibit on the lower level of young budding artists - elementary through high school student works. Art is not dead!
but very interesting small museum on Ocean Blvd. with a beautiful view of the Pacific. I love to dine at the restaurant on the grounds. Makes for a lovely afternoon with my friends!
Have driven by this museum and finally had a chance to visit. The museum property is located next to a restaurant that I'd like to try another time. The restaurant has outdoor seating and nice views of the ocean. Both museum and restaurant have identical architecture and brown singles. The museum is on the northern part of the property towards downtown Long Beach.The museum is small and you could cover it in under an hour to an hour. There are stairs and elevator access. Entrance to the museum was by donation. There were 3 sections differing in exhibits and local children's art on the basement level. The most appealing part is the upper room facing the Pacific Ocean. What views! I could see a party with cocktails and hors d'oeuvre served. Not sure if the museum allows it but I visualized this. The exhibits were not to my taste as they were mostly modern. However, I enjoyed seeing the "Boat" exhibits on the upper room with the view and thought it was appropriate. The museum was airy and cool and a nice thing to do on a hot day.Not sure if I'll return anytime soon though I'd like to compliment Long Beach on having such an accessible museum open to all.
Great place to take grandkids and have lunch (next door). Small enough to keep the interest of our grandkids (ages 10 to 16). Nice staff!
L.B. Museum of Art located on the coast is a memorable day trip, wonderful location for events/wedding and the restaurant with an ocean view is delightful for Sunday brunch or any day of the week. Exhibitions are interesting as are the community events. A must see on your agenda.
Interesting building, a ca. 1900 craftsman-style home. The art varies in quality depending on the show. The location is gorgeous and Claire's restaurant on the terrace is the best part of the trip.
My husband and I enjoyed our monthly anniversary at the Long Beach Museum of Art. We had not been to the museum in several years. The museum has evolved over the decades, retaining its earlier charm of the lovely house where Claire's restaurant occupies the lower level and the patio overlooking the ocean. The newer building presents arts exhibits, always amazing to view. Our return visit was splendid, beginning with a tour of the major exhibit, featuring 100 pieces representing a local artist's genealogical quest. An afternoon snack at Claire's was delicious, pleasant, and romantic. Parking is on-street and at a lot a block north.
