Create an itinerary including Palm Springs Art Museum

Located in a building that itself is a work of art, Palm Springs Art Museum boasts a collection by prominent modern and contemporary artists. Hidden in this desert oasis are the works of Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and many others. Contemporary design, painting, sculpture, and photography reside with Native American and Mesoamerican art. The two styles seamlessly blend and bring out the essence of the American Southwest as the meeting point of the two worlds, ancient and modern. Temporary exhibits boost the rich permanent collection. The museum offers very popular, expert guided tours. If you’re interested in taking part, you should make a telephone reservation ahead of time. Before you visit Palm Springs, use our trip planner to discover what you can do and see there.

I go here on my several visits a year. Love the cafe, the outdoor space and the intimacy of contact with whatever exhibition is available. Didn't love having to make appointments during Covid but...

If you like Modern and recent art (not all abstract) this is the place. The galleries are thoughtfully laid out and the art is grouped in such way to show the maximum amount with clashing or...

An incredible variety of beautiful art. The permanent Pure, Simple, and Beautiful Forms: Glass Collection is a must see. Stunning colours and visually appealing. Lawrence Schiller’s the 60s images captured so well that takes you back in time. Museum has a cafe which is nicely tucked in surrounding art everywhere. A must visit museum.

Cute tittle museum. It won’t overwhelm you but it will satisfy you. They have beautiful art and always changing their displays. Very well kept. Their bistro was closed though so we didn’t get to enjoy that part of it I don’t remember the dates but they do close it during some months in the year so call before you go. It cost us $28 to enter. $14 per adult My children ages 10 and 12 were free. Go and enjoy some art and get out of the heat :)
