The Museum s permanent collection at the Civic Center includes California art, photography, Asian art, folk art and work by Monterey icons Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. La Mirada is a home and garden restored in the ambience of early California. A wing added in 1993 by architect Charles Moore adds four additional galleries to the original estate. Both museums can be viewed in an afternoon. When shopping becomes just too much for the children, take them to the Youth Museum near Cannery Row.
Kids become puppeteers, watch magnets dance, explore computers or make their own creations.
