Compact, well-curated museum with striking contemporary and historical exhibits (altered landscape photography, Dorothea Lange, ichthyosaur display) and a recent renovation that creates photogenic interior lines and light. Rooftop event terraces give city/valley vista shots at golden hour. Best visited weekday mornings for quiet galleries; check museum policy on flash/tripods. Entry ~$15, free parking on site, free second Saturdays. Fully accessible.
