Palm Springs Art Museum
Downtown Palm Springs · Palm Springs, California
The Palm Springs Art Museum occupies a central place in the cultural life of the Coachella Valley, with a collection and programming that reflect the desert Southwest's unique mix of Native American traditions, mid-century modernism, and the international contemporary art world. The permanent collection is particularly strong in glass art, photography, and California modernism, with recent acquisitions expanding representation from Latin America. The museum's Architecture and Design Center, housed in a restored 1961 bank building downtown, celebrates Palm Springs's extraordinary mid-century architectural heritage. Major traveling exhibitions supplement a year-round program of lectures, films, and community events.
