From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA) is an art museum located in Pasadena, California, USA, showcasing art and architecture specifically originating from California and celebrating the state's various cultures and geography. The museum was founded by long-time Pasadena residents and art collectors Robert and Arlene Oltman. Ground was broken in 2000 and the museum officially opened in June 2002. The museum's recent exhibitions include "Maynard Dixon: Masterpieces from the Brigham Young University and Private Collections", the largest exhibition of Dixon's art to date, and a show of work by Irving Norman. The California Design Biennial is presented by the PMCA in order to promote the innovation and creativity of design in California. Following the museum's hope to advance up-and-coming artists from California, the Project Room is a space within the museum dedicated to projects by lesser-known artists. The beautiful and simple design of the museum itself compliments the art within.
