The Norton Simon Museum is a world-renowned art museum in Pasadena, California, housing one of the finest private art collections ever assembled. The museum features an exceptional collection of European paintings, sculptures, and tapestries from the Renaissance through the 20th century, along with an extensive collection of South and Southeast Asian art spanning over 2,000 years. Visitors can also enjoy rotating exhibitions, educational programs, guided tours, a sculpture garden, and a museum store.
A smaller museum with just the amount of famous artwork and sculptures (from the artbooks) with Rodin's Thinker leading (?) you up the stairs. No need to get drained from going from room to room to room to room. Last visit was during the Memorial day wknd (Sat) at 4 so had to park on the street. No requirement to buy tickets online so bought at the ticket booth.

We had such a great time at Kidspace Children’s Museum! It’s a wonderful place for kids to explore, play, and learn at the same time. There were so many fun and interactive activities, and everything felt safe, clean, and well organized. The outdoor areas were especially enjoyable, and the atmosphere was very welcoming for families. Our child had an amazing experience and didn’t want to leave. We will definitely visit again and highly recommend it to other families!

Quaint Museum in the heart of Pasadena!!!
Very accessible and they have a good sized parking lot north of the building and the entrance is on Los Robles.
Now to the exhibits; although limited, they are beautifully curated. Think about a smaller version of the big museums although they’re featuring only the “bigger” countries in Asia. Currently, there is a special exhibit about “Dismantling Orientalism” which about presenting the Orient not from the stereotypical eyes of the West which I believe presents a fresher and more accurate take on the subject. I’d like to affirm and thank Grace Nicholson for her vision in making this place available to all. Plan to spend an hour before hitting the dining spots in the area. I also recommend spending a few minutes in their garden and appreciate the architecture.
