Long Beach Museum of Art

It’s a nice community museum. Small enough to not feel overwhelmed or rushed. But big enough to hold some larger scaled works. Most of all the location on the bluffs overlooking the beach and ocean make it a great day and a feel good place to hang out or have an event on the lawn. Perfect wedding venue!

I don’t believe this is fairly accurate review. I personally don’t like Modern Art. I apologize to those artists featured at this Museum. The outside grounds, are lovely for a wedding or private event.

They have a free parking lot for guests. $12/entry museum for an adult (they have a Friday discount). Next door Claire's restaurant has a nice patio overlooking the Juniper beach.

The museum was partially closed when we went. But if the art display on the first floor is an indicator of the overall quality of the museum, I cannot imagine it to be anything better than below par. The buildings that house the museum and the restaurants look impressive; and that's all to this museum.

A small but quaint museum. The current exhibits are awesome. It's 3 floors to this building. There is access to an elevator if needed.

I hadn't been here before but saw lbma on the list of museums with free entry today so decided to go. Although the museum has a small parking lot, it was full so I had to park several blocks away and walk. There is also a paid parking option at Junipero Beach that I'll keep in mind for next time.

Since they were already at max capacity when I got there at 11:30ish, I waited a few minutes to get in. I doubt that's normal though. I'm guessing there were lots of others taking advantage of the free day.

Brent Estabrook, one of the artists, was there and conducted a tour of his works and answered questions.

Their restaurant, Claire's, was also busy today. I wasn't hungry but will definitely come back another day to check out Claire's, which has outside seating overlooking the ocean.

The museum and Claire's are open Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.

There are places to eat brunch and beverages outside the Museum.
We have go to the opening hours Friday and can sit without the Waiting.
The employees are very kind and ocean view is so beautiful.
Food was so delicious.
We didn't see the museum because the child was so sleepy.
I want to see the inside of the museum next time.
