Looked for something to do a day before heading to the Poppy Reserve. If you're a lover of art and appreciate all that goes into art, this place is a must see. It's always free, but there is a suggested contribution of $5pp. It's for a good cause...art! I come from a art appreciating family and if you appreciate and want to support the arts it's a must see. Interesting pieces. Took no more that 1hr to get through.

I love this place. I went in the summer and they were all very inviting. It is free of charge as of right now and they have diffrent showcases. If you are new to art museums don't stand too close to the paintings my sister got scared when one of the workers told her to stand at a level distance. other than that the experience was amazing.

Right on the newly refurbished Lancaster Blvd, "The BLVD" is a real Art Gallery. Each exhibit is smallish but good. The curator has done an excellent job to put together fairly-family-friendly but still provocative works of art and, reportedly, the exhibits change often enough that there will always be something to drop-by and talk about, which is the point of having an art gallery.
Right now, there is an interesting exhibit of artifacts and photos by a Native American man from this area, which appears to be the History part of MOAH.
As a museum, this is not meant to be another Getty or LACMA - those things take hours to see. Instead, by design I think, MOAH is a wonderful conversation piece and an easy, short, stop-over for those strolling down the BLVD.
My family dropped by for 15 minutes on a Thursday evening which is the one night of the week MOAH is open late. While there, we saw a lecture being conducted by a world-famous LA art critic. Just one of the perks of living close to LA: famous people sometimes take a jaunt up here to be admired by us Valley folk. :)

Nice facility. Pushy donation on entry. Several rooms with "art" we spent about 20 minutes in total, much of that looking for where the rest of the exhipits were hiding! This is not a HIstory Museum!!!!!!

Delighted by the professionalism of this museum; excellent lighting for displays. The exhibit we saw was equal to any large city in California.

Liked the place and the pictures even if I thought there would be more things to see because on the roof there were only two things ;) but the view from the roof was beautiful :D I really like Lancaster and Rosamond

I love this place. Very needed around here. Actually a cultural experience close to home. I had low expectations and they far exceeded them.

MOAH has cooperated with this unique little gem of a museum to prepare a large educational display that explains the flora and fauna of the high desert woodland preserve in which it is located. Open only on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday it is worth making a point to visit.

We were in the Antelope Vally to see the poppies and googled things to do in the area. I love all things art and was pleasantly surprised by this museum. Friendly staff and really high quality art. The current exhibit is "Peace on Earth" and showcases artists' animal themed work. Plan to spend about an hour. It would be good to read up on a few artists before you go - can be found on the museum's website. Very interesting. Thank you MOAH staff!!

Outstanding staff- friendly, available, and not intrusive in any way. Helpful, too. The exhibits were very well done and explained enough to grasp without taking a long time to get through (for those who don't like to see lines and lines of print to read).
In pulling up this page to write my review, I now regret that I didn't use the bathroom with the button to open the door nor go on the roof.
Right in the middle of Lancaster's main street. I was told that it's right by Metrolink, so there's no excuse to avoid the trek if one is down in Los Angeles but uninterested in a long drive.
