The Norton Simon Museum of Art was a really great experience. I really enjoyed the Asian exhibition.
I would recommend this Museum to international tourists and locals throughout the southern California
Areas. Also the garden and the coffee was great. Have fun and take pictures ! Do you know what
Country chess originated from? The answer awaits at the exhibit for Google. Lol

A beautiful museum that can be easily tackled in half a day. Smaller than many but so relaxed and manageable. Love every visit I make.

The Norton Simon is my daughter's favorite museum in Southern California and is home to her favorite piece of artwork: Little Dancer Aged Fourteen by Edgar Degas. This iconic museum, which can be seen during the Rose Parade, is an absolute gem tucked into Pasadena. The only downside is the food, or lack thereof, available at the tiny cafe outside. It would be great to see some more kid-friendly options.

One of my favorite museums in town. If you're a big fan of Impressionism, they have the best collection in the city. I love the Asian antiquities and its exhibit space, which is very quiet and solemn. Pretty pond in the courtyard.
