Orange County Museum of Art
Neighborhood: Costa Mesa/Huntington Beach/Newport Beach
Phone: +1 949 759 4848
Website | Map | add to Travel Bag (NEW)
If you are driving south along the coast for the day from L.A., this gallery is ideally situated near the popular Fashion Island shopping center, not even a mile from the Pacific Coast Highway. The subject of much controversy among Orange County's art crowd over the past few years, the museum expanded to almost double its original size when the Newport Harbor Art Museum (same location) and the Laguna Art Museum consolidated to form this larger complex, scandalizing the art-loving Laguna Beach community. The permanent collection focuses on late 20th-century and California art, but the museum enjoys exhibitions that have included works from artists such as Rico Lebrun and Pablo Picasso. The Plein Air Café serves lunch, and a meal will earn you free admission to the museum. Admission: $5 Adults, $4 Students and Seniors, Free for Children younger than 16 and members.
