About the Long Beach Museum of Art
Located on a magnificent bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, The Long Beach Museum of Art features a schedule of changing exhibitions, artmaking workshops for all ages, an historic mansion and carriage house, expansive galleries and gardens, oceanfront dining at Claire's at the Museum and a gift store. The Museum's permanent collection includes approximately 5000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, works on paper, and decorative arts objects (furnishings and accessories). Particular strengths lie in 300 years of American decorative arts objects, early 20th century European art, California Modernism, and contemporary art of California.
The Museum is located at 2300 East Ocean Boulevard, Long Beach, CA 90803. For hours and admission fees please see the Museum's website.
Why was this sub-index page prepared?
When Resource Library publishes over time more than one article concerning an institution, there is created as an additional resource for readers a sub-index page containing links to each Resource Library article or essay concerning that institution, plus available information on its location and other descriptive information.
See TFAO's Museums Explained to learn about the "inner workings" of art museums and the functions of staff members. In the exhibitions section find out how to get the most out of a museum visit. See definitions for a glossary of museum-related words used in articles.
