We visited the museum at opening (11am) on a Saturday. We had purchased the tickets online, and there was no details of what exhibits were open or closed. Upon arriving we were told that about half of the museum was closed as they were setting up for two new exhibits. Since this was our first time here we did not know what to expect. To walk the two exhibits that were on display took maybe 10 to 15 minutes as we really engaged with the artwork.

We then went to go see the sculpture garden outside. Upon walking outside if you went to the left there is a covered seating area with a vending machine (I believe). To the right is a long narrow pathway between buildings that leads to the garden. The garden has very little shade so if it is hot like it was the day we visited you will be looking for that shade. The area was nice and the exhibits were interesting.

We stopped by the gift shop before leaving and I purchased a piece of Mexican straw art by an artist named Miguel Hernandez.

Overall we spent maybe 45 to 50 minutes here and had a great time. We would go back if they have new exhibits.

I was in the Long Beach for an event, and was looking to find things to do around here, this museum was my first choice. It’s small and has exhibitions of four artists at the moment. The exhibitions are very well thought out and set up, there are some really beautiful and unique pieces that I haven’t seen anywhere else. I really wish there was a tour guide or self guided tour so I could learn more about the pieces and the work behind them. On Saturday afternoon it wasn’t too crowded but the parking was a pain. The parking lot is small and hard to navigate with lots of dead ends. There was also some kind of event taking a place around the corner, sharing the same parking lot. It was like plants farmers markets! It was another highlight of the visit, I got a few plants, an art piece, and met some incredible people. There was insane line to get in there. The entrance to the museum was free because it was Saturday and also it coincided with one free day a month even though I was not a long beach resident.

I really enjoyed this museum.
Staff are nice, helpful. The exhibits were good. It is a nice,wide open space.
Was not crowded at all. Nice laid back atmosphere. There is also an outdoor sculpture garden,where events are held.
There a plenty of free parking. Great gift shop.
But, it's really small. So yeah,it's a nice,short,sweet visit.

They only had 3 artists on exhibit but I loved it! Was able to see the whole museum space in 45 mins. They have a lovely sculpture garden as well, but go there first as the garden closes down early.

The museum had a dia los Muertos event in October, and it was very busy. Hard to find parking space because of the event because it was on a free museum day. There was plenty of rooms to see beautiful artwork. Definitely not disappointed on the artworks. Outdoors, there is a sculptural garden. There was food trucks as well as vendors at the event. They also had live music, dancers and ornate costumes. Come during the event, it’s very entertaining.
It is handicap friendly. Restrooms available. And plenty of helpful staff.

12:37 pm Sat/7 Oct. Free, easy parking in their huge lot. Museum is only 1 story so easy to walk around. $10/entry for students/military, $15/regular and i think they have frequent free admission days (docent said tomorrow Oct 7 is free).

Smaller art museum, but has a lot to enjoy and see. We went on a sunday and it was free. Sculpture garden is pretty awesome as well. Definitely will come back again.
