Monterey Museum of Art La Mirada

Comment on Facebook

MMA La Mirada is the city’s crown jewel with its magnificent gardens surrounded by picturesque stone walls. Located in one of Monterey's oldest neighborhoods, La Mirada began as a modest stone adobe during the Mexican Period. It was later remodeled into an elegant home and estate where the great stars of the silent film era were entertained. Today visitors will experience the same charming, exquisitely furnished home with its ambiance of early California. The Dart Wing, designed by renowned architect Charles Moore, features four breathtaking galleries with spectacular views of the gardens and Monterey Bay.
