Torrance Art Museum

small but interesting

Volunteered here, great atmosphere and exhibits. Beautiful Zen garden next door that has a pair of red dragon flies. Never seen them in that color.

This beautiful art gallery is worth checking out. This pocket of Torrance is such a gift to experience. Art and a garden to welcome you 🦋 ....I really enjoyed the current exhibition -Western Values. It felt so fitting for reflection. Also, I recommend visiting the little zen Japanese garden next door, at the Torrance Cultural Center.

Great museum in the southbay

Great little museum showcasing California artists. I came for Sonic Exploration on the Patio, but enjoyed the gallery enough that we plan to attend more exhibits. Good parking, entry is free but donations are encouraged.

I wish i could give them more than five stars! The art is absolutely incredible and they have the most sweetest and knowledgable staff. Hope assisted me when I visited from out of town and she is awesome!

Having been to museums in more than 40 countries, I was surprised to find such a small museum in my current home city be both free and also so excellently curated. The photography they had, in a special exhibit that isn’t permanent, was just exceptional and I could have stayed for hours just enjoying that aspect of the collection. I also enjoyed the exhibit in coordination with curators in Germany. The staff member I talked to was knowledgeable and super helpful. Parking is plentiful and the location is good, close to several other things to do if you’re visiting and don’t live in Torrance. I’d highly recommend making time to visit this museum if you’re anywhere nearby.
