Review:
Located on North Museum Drive, the Palm Springs Art Museum is an institution devoted to regional art, performing arts, and natural science. Founded in 1938, it was formerly called the Palm Springs Desert Museum and was housed in a room in La Plaza Arcade.
In 1958, a new 10,000 square foot facility was built for the art museum; this was expanded in 1962 to include an auditorium and several new galleries. Today, the museum resides in a 75,000 square foot Modernist style building. The Palm Springs Art Museum is one of the best things to do in Palm Springs CA for art lovers. The art collection includes contemporary art, art glass, and sculptures, while the natural science collection contains items from many fields such as archaeology, biology, and geology. Music, dance, and theater performances are also held in the Annenberg Theater.
