The Norton Simon Museum is one of my favorite places to visit . I love the magnificent collection of beautiful artwork and the museum store where one can purchase a card with works of Van Gogh or Monet or a petite replica of the Degas ballerina statue. After all of the walking around, I truly enjoy a snack by the lovely lily pond outside of the museum at the Cafe.

The main floor is broken up into four wings. Each wing spans a different time period. The gift shop is located on the main floor as well as access to the sculpture garden which is a beautiful setting. Downstairs there are south and southeast Asian sculptures. Then kind of tucked away on the lower level was a special exhibit. Saw a lot of famous pieces here. I’ve seen so many prints of Diego Rivera’s The Flower Vendor, and it was great to finally see the original. There were also pieces by Van Gogh and Picasso.

Norton Simon is a treasure of a museum. It is right off the 134 freeway in Pasadena. So much to see. My favorite part is how you can download the app and get a private little tour right from your cell phone. Love the garden as well so beautiful. Parking is free and if you have your student ID you get in for free. I love going to Norton Simon for my weekend outing.

This is now my favorite museum. It is quiet and small, but packed with some of the most amazing art in the world. The garden cafe is also reasonably priced for some really great food. One word…DEGAS. No wait, two words…Van Gogh!

Yes. The cafe is located in the corner of a lovely garden, further distinguished by numerous Rodin sculptures. Tables & chairs overlook a small lily pond; you'll also see a family of geese nonchalantly walking around. The cafe itself has different types of coffee (w/ non-dairy creamer options), pastries & other usual coffee shop products.
