Less than a half mile from Fashion Island, this engaging museum highlights California art and cutting-edge contemporary artists, with exhibitions rotating through two large spaces. Recent exhibitions have included ‘Birth of the Cool: Art, Design and Culture at Midcentury’ and ‘15 Minutes of Fame: Portraits from Ansel Adams to Andy Warhol.’ There’s also a sculpture garden, eclectic gift shop and a theater screening classic, foreign and art-related films.
On the third Thursday of the month, stop by for behind-the-scenes gallery tours, films and videos, and even live music and DJs.
