Plan Your Visit to the Laguna Art Museum

Overview

Plan Ahead: Recent visitors have noted that the museum is relatively small, and can be fully explored within a few hours rather than an entire afternoon.

One of California's oldest museums, the Laguna Art Museum is unique in that it exclusively showcases works by California artists or art that depicts the state and its history. Originally opened in 1929, the museum was founded by the Laguna Beach Art Association after a successful fundraising campaign. Today, the museum boasts a collection of more than 3,600 works, ranging from the 19th century to the present day.
