I've been here twice. The first time we lucked out and got the one open space in the parking lot. Then found the elevator wasn't working so couldn't get upstairs because I can't climb steps. Second trip no parking, drove around and around the streets looking for impossible parking. Got to museum to find the second floor is closed for installation. I wasn't willing to pay to see half a museum. They're closed several days a week, so they should be able to do their installations then and make the whole place available on weekends,when most people can go. Nothing on their website either time about any limitations.

Looked up museum online. Arrived when the museum opened at 11:00 AM. Sign on the gate said museum was closing at 2:00 (or 3:00). When we went in, we found the exhibits were all closed, except a middle-school exhibition in the basement.
We were very disappointed. Call BEFORE going to this museum!

great ocean view! A nice day spent, they have some nice pieces and a great courtyard. Make sure to check if the resturant is open before your plan your trip, they have limited days of operation, I think Thu-Sun.

The most recent display was very neat. A nice place to visit and free on Thursdays after 3pm. There's enough street parking.

This small museum has wonderful exhibitions of artists from all over the world. Enjoy the art, and then lunch enjoying a view of the ocean at Claire’s Restaurant.

With its quaint and local establishment this museum sits on the top of a hill overlooking the ocean. It’s is as beautiful on the inside as on the outside.
The varying exhibits are always enlightening and fun. It is large enough to entertain mass groups while maintaining a smaller museum feel.
They host several member only events as well as open events to the public. The attached restaurant offers a social experience that is catered to the local Long Beach scene.

This is not a large museum. So, you only need a 1-2 hours to visit. But, their primary exhibits change from time to time. We visited while they had an extensive exhibit of work by the Cuban artist Rafael Soriano, representing his entire career from the early years as a geometric painter to his more recent ethereal and spiritual pieces. The exhibit was well organized around the story of the artist's life.
The main museum is two stories with a lovely courtyard separating it from the old Craftsman style Elizabeth Milbank Anderson House, which is used as an administrative wing. Views from the courtyard over the beach and out to see include the Queen Mary and the Carnival Cruise terminal off to the west. Free museum parking is located just two doors down Ocean Blvd. to the west. Or, you might find street parking on the north side of Ocean Blvd. immediately across from the museum.

I think it is open Thursday through Sunday and the admission was $7 when I went. I don't know the specific times. Hope that helps a little.
