The Palm Springs Art Museum should be part of you next Palm Springs vacation. Located in the downtown, the museum features historical artifacts along with fine art and sculpture.
When I arrived I was greeted by sculptures and fine art adorning the walls.
There were also statues and exhibits featuring Palm Springs modern design, film and photography. The art exhibits are of a broad chronological, geographic and artistic range. Everything from modern to op art.
The featured exhibition when I was there was a Richard Avedon collection of pictures. Magnificent Avedon photos of everyone from Bob Dylan to Marilyn Monroe.
The Annenberg Theatre for the performing arts is another feature of the museum. Named for museum donor and former desert resident Ambassador Walter Annenberg the theater presents live performance concert from opera to ballet and jazz
While on my last visit I didn't partake in one of the workshops and classes that the museum has for its local residents, I did take one a guided tour. The tours are conducted daily are about 45 minutes and part of the cost of admission.
My afternoon at the art museum included lunch in a great little restaurant where I took in a beautiful outdoor sculptor garden which is both scenic and serene. This sculptor garden is a true oasis in the desert.
After spending a few hours at the Palm Springs Art Museum taking in its exhibits and collection of paintings, sculptures, and exhibits, because it is located in the heart of the downtown, when I finished with lunch I strolled out on to Museum Way which is one short block from Palm Canyon Drive. There I spent the rest of m my afternoon taking in the sun and strolling the sun drenched Palm Springs main drag with its assortment of shops.
Admission tickets for as little as $5.00 for students and $10 - $12 for adults. The Palm Springs Art Museum is a mandatory stop on my next Palm Springs vacation.
