Day Trip to the Norton Simon Museum
The Norton Simon Museum in Pasedena is known around the world as one of the most remarkable private art collections ever assembled. Over a 30-year period industrialist Norton Simon (1907–1993) amassed an astonishing collection of European art from the Renaissance to the 20th Century and a stellar collection of South and Southeast Asian art spanning 2000 years. Approximately 1000 works from the permanent collection of 12,000 objects are on view in the galleries and sculpture garden throughout the year. There are two temporary exhibition spaces within the museum; the curatorial department mounts three to five exhibitions centered on the collection and one special masterpiece loan per year.
