Review:
Opened in 2008 in a lovely two-story 9,000-square-foot Spanish colonial revival building, the La Quinta Museum features exhibits on local history, culture, and arts. One of the most interesting features is a 32-foot-long mural of old La Quinta by Andre Blanche located in the community room. There are two dioramas – one of a Cahuilla Native American village and one of the native animals living in the area. There is a collection of photos of old resorts, showing the growth of the town as a resort community. The museum has a nice shop with relevant books and interesting unique gift items, three galleries, a research area, archives, and a large community multi-purpose room. The museum organizes a range of events and programs for children and adults, as well as travelling exhibits on local history and art.
