Laguna Art Museum
A seaside museum that grew out of a 1918 artists' association, focused on California art and plein air landscape painting.
The museum began as the Laguna Beach Art Association, founded in 1918, when Laguna was a gathering place for California plein air painters. The collection focuses on California art, from early landscapes to contemporary works. The galleries are compact, so a visit takes about an hour. The museum sits where the coast road meets the cliff path, just outside Heisler Park. It is closed on Wednesdays. Admission is about $20, and the free Art Walk is held on the first Thursday evening of each month.
