Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center

Went there for exhibit on Japanese Americans from Anaheim and the internment camps during WWII. My family was one of many families highlighted. It was important to my dad that I see the exhibit so I made the trip from KY to see it with my parents. Muzeo is a small space, perfect for smaller cultural exhibits. It is part of the Downtown Anaheim complex. Parking is nearby.

Really nice stuff, interesting exhibitions (not that big) & cool museum shop. Loved the Anaheim historical part, too!

Visited with my family a couple years ago. Not sure if anything has changed. The museum features the African American experience, covering the arts, slavery & the Civil Rights Movement. A must see when you visit Anaheim, California

I was there for an Art Exhibit. Well lit, nice show. The early Anaheim exhibit was so interesting. Also, a collection of turn of the century Halloween postcards was lively.

Small museum but mighty. I love that it changes frequently so I can visit multiple times a year. Every visit I learn something new and always take lots of photos!

What they have is very nice. The one building is a display from all Hispanic artists. The other building has various forms for Asian inspired art.

It's a really nice small museum the exhibit is really there's another building that is free I didn't go to it maybe next time but they had a Christmas model train exhibit that ends on January 20th glad I made it to see it

Legend 200 years of sleepy hollow exhibition, not expensive 5 dls per adult close on Mondays.

Visited Muzeo for the first time to check out the MARVELOCITY: THE ART OF ALEX ROSS exhibit. There were a few other exhibits available but we only had time for Marvelocity. I imagine you could knock out all of the exhibits in a few hours and make an afternoon of it as the museum is on the relatively small side. Entry: Tickets can be purchased online ahead of time or in person. Your receipt will be your proof for entry to the exhibits. Parking: Only a few specific lots surrounding Muzeo are available for parking validation so be sure to check out the website and park in the correct lot. Parking tickets can be validated at the check-in/purchase desk and/or gift shop. If there is an exhibit that sounds interesting to you, I definitely recommend visiting Muzeo. Then, take a short walk to the Anaheim Packing District for a drink, snack, or meal.

This is a cute little museum. You can tell it's fairly old when you go down to the bathrooms. There's a separation, building wise, for the museum which I thought was weird. But always nice to know the history of Anaheim and it was pretty cool going through the second half of the museum.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. - P.Picasso. Muzeo Museum is a local small museum where people gather to share culture, show art and support community. It's located in Anaheim, CA. This museum has good art galleries and revolving exhibits. Similarly, it has become part of the Carnegie Library which gives visitors full access. The museums current exhibits were a collection of the 60th Annual Juried show by Anaheim Art Association. Some of the art displayed on the galleries can be purchased while some are NFS. Admission ticket is $10 bucks. A female staff was friendly. Gift store is tiny with few art souvenirs, tote bags, decal stickers, mugs, books, and merch. We visited during the weekday whereby scant visitors are in the museum. Street Parking is nonexistent, however, plenty of timed parking structures adjacent and across from the museum. Overall, it's a decent museum with good art exhibits. You can finish it in under an hour. I still recommend you visit if you're in the area.

Good exhibits in 2 buildings. On the smaller side so it doesn't take long to walk through, but worth a stop.

The website said the Muzeo was open. Google and Yelp said they were open. I rode on a bus halfway across town to get here and they were closed for construction.

This exhibit used to be a favorite. The kids still like trains, so we went again this year. Only 2 rooms with train set ups, and on the day we went one of them was not working! We went to the second room, and as soon as the trains started running, there was a really strong electrical burning smell. They disconnected the power, so now there were no trains running. To be fair, they did refund my money, but we never bothered to go back. It seems unlikely we will ever go back there.

Came here on the last weekend of the Houdini exhibit. The Houdini exhibit was excellent. This one would have benefited from a guided tour or a recording by the collector about his collection. Houdini was the main exhibit in the bigger building connected to the apartment complex. The lighting was great, videos were all working, displays looked great and environment was comfortable. We also checked out the stand alone building, it had a couple of train sets, a permanent Anaheim exhibit and a small play room for children. Overall for a small museum, we really enjoyed the Houdini exhibit and will be on the lock out for what they will have on display next!

This museum has constantly rotating exhibits, so you can visit again and again. There are two buildings. Everything looked new and clean. Well maintained and not run down at all. Street parking or they have paid lots nearby. Its in the downtown Anaheim section of town. Glad to have gone at least once. It's a really small museum, so you can see everything in about an hour.

Nice downtown Anaheim location. The two exhibit halls had good exhibits. One was what looked like a show of local artists in different mediums, seemingly from pieces entered into a show put on by the city/museums. The other was in the old building where there was a permanent display of the history of Anaheim. The other two rooms were dedicated to Halloween (which is why we chose to come at this time).. One a history of the holiday, the other a history of the Anaheim Halloween festival and parade. The exhibits were not too extensive, but enough for a short afternoon visit. The area surrounding the mu do had lots of restaurants, and sit is near the Anaheim Packing House which gives you lots of options for before or after your museum visit.

Loved the Sleepy Hollow exhibit but I wanted more. Hope they expand it if offered again. There were two rooms and another empty space in the back I guess they were preparing for another exhibit. One room had artwork inspired by Sleepy Hollow and the main room had history, books, costumes, artifacts, etc. Got some free stickers and button from this exhibit which was a cool gift.

Recently stopped by on 08/06/2021 with my fiancé and my sister and we had a very good time. While on our visit we loved that we got to meet an artist. His name is Sung Yong Tark :) His exhibit named, "Passing Through Life With Brushes, Chisels, & Clays" caught our interest, even though we don't speak or read Korean we couldn't help but admire his pieces. It was most splendid that he talked to us & shared what he was feeling when working on his masterpieces & talked to us for awhile about life & shared some beautiful words of wisdom. I will never forget this day. We really enjoyed this Muzeo :) it's small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for it in character. Great experience indeed

Today is my in-laws wedding anniversary. We celebrated with my F-I-L up in the heavens. Muzeo was my M-I-L's pick of the day. And luckily there is an awesome exhibit - Papel Chicano Dos - Now thru July 14, 2019 so try to visit if you are interested in some of Cheech Marin's collection. Pretty cool. There is a video that I highly recommend watching. It gives you a good foundation of the art and artistes behind these works. I like Cheech even more now. General admission is $10. Discounted if you are a senior, military, student or child. Parking is across the way in the structure and validated by Muzeo so that's nice! It's located on Center St. Promenade. There are some eateries and cafes here so it could be convenient for a little day trip. (Anaheim Packing District is less than half a mile away so...you can go there too) There is also free exhibits in the building next to the main hall. I will have to return for those. Come visit and keep the arts alive.

From the outside this place looks like it had a lot to offer, but in reality it was kinda lame. It had four rooms of small locomotive train sets with Christmas decorations, a small room about the history of Anaheim, and the main exhibit. You can walk all this, use the bathroom and get a drink of water in under 5 mins and still question to yourself why did you pay $$ to graze like a cow. Overall, save your money and go grab some good food down the street, you'll thank me later.

I'm no artist or museum enthusiast, but I was very underwhelmed with MUZEO. I came here with my husband after seeing them on channel 7 news about their train exhibit. My husband really likes model trains, so we were both excited for this experience. First of all, I thought this place was closed because it was so empty on a Saturday afternoon. That says it all.... Entry for the train exhibit was $10 per person. We paid and went inside. There was a large room with different themes of trains and a few other things to look at. We finished in 10 minutes. One of the trains were out of order too. Because we had so much time, we decided to check out the other building, which is free. We visited the 2nd floor calligraphy exhibit which was kind of cool. There was also a small history of Anaheim area. The downstairs was another exhibit that didn't interest me too much. Overall, I thought this train exhibit was too expensive and not worth the cost.

We went up to Muzeo after Christmas to check out the holiday train exhibit before it was gone after the holidays. The exhibit was small, but fun to check out and great for kids. The exhibits they had going at time we visited was the holiday trains, a glass and ceramic art exhibit and a local Anaheim history room. All 3 were worth seeing and the Anaheim History room is very interesting. I have lived in Orange County for over 30 years and was fascinated to learn the local history of Anaheim. When they have exhibits going, it is definitely worth visiting. The museum is located in a revitalized area of downtown Anaheim and there are some great restaurants within walking distance. The parking is in local parking garages and the museum does validate.

We visited for the Muzeo Express exhibit of holiday toy trains and items on loan from Walt Disney's Carolwood Barn. I was pleased with the displays and my toddler enjoyed pushing the buttons to make the trains go. They also had wooden train tables for kids to build and play and a wooden train cutout photo opp for us Insta happy adults. We did not visit the additional exhibits upstairs, wherever that was. My ticket was $10 and my 3 year old got in free. Parking was validated. I do wish they'd partner with AAA or offer residents additional discount opportunities. We went on a Thursday and there were food trucks and vendors on the street. I will probably go back sans toddler and enjoy some tacos and beer.

The docents here are very informed and I've found the helpful. This is in downtown Anaheim and there is a parking lot. They do have interesting exhibits here Being a smaller museum it's not as busy as some of the bigger museums. You will find great restaurants close by if you want to make a day out

I have lived in Anaheim for almost 8 years now and today was the first chance I had to check this place out. It is located in the Center Street Promenade and is honestly one of the nicest looking museums I have ever seen. The ticket price for adults is only $10 which is quite good and the exhibits are rotated out every 3-4 months. I went for the sole purpose of catching the Spies, Traitors and Saboteurs exhibit that is on loan from the D.C. Spy museum before it ends this Monday and I was not disappointed. The exhibit was great covering everything from government espionage to the KKK to the Oklahoma City bombing and even 9/11. This exhibit had something for everyone and the 8 minute movie at the end on 9/11 was quite good. They also have a History of Anaheim exhibit that runs year round covering pretty much everything from the inception of the city to present day. The exhibit features items from the military, home life, the Angels and Ducks all the way to old school photos from the city's birth. Today also marked the debut of the new Lateral Acceleration exhibit focusing on various photos of Harley Davidson motorcycles throughout the Orange County area. The exhibit runs in two small halls and each has around 20 photos as well as Harley Davidson motorcycles & scooters to check out. Even a replica of the original Harley for the 100th anniversary is present. I recommend checking this place out for any fan of museums. The exhibits are well put together and always changing. I will be back soon to check out the Worn To Be Wild exhibit for sure. Overall, great experience.

Best kept secret in Anaheim! Very intimate venues with up close displays. I am fortunate enough to work in Downtown Anaheim and visit on a whim. The exhibits are ever changing which makes this location a great place to visit any time of the year. Parking is a breeze and best of all they are a very short walk from the Anaheim Packing House should you want to grab a bite or a tasty treat!

I learned about Muzeo while searching for California history museums. It turns out the history was crammed into a single alcove on the second floor of the old building (former Carnegie library). Informative and more interesting than I thought it would be (including historical hints of Asian American and other non-European peoples). Saturation hits quickly in the small and haphazardly arranged space. The major themes (pre-people, Native Americans, German farmers, postwar, etc.) each deserved their own space the size of that room. Each tightly packed photograph had the potential to tell its own story but most did not have any explanation. Also unfortunately, there was one area now covered by a painting but they didn't update the captions. It took me a good ten minutes to figure out why some captions and photos matched the diagram but others didn't. Other rooms had art created by school and self-help groups, and it was nice to see the interests and concerns of local people displayed. Intermixed were some paintings by a famous Orange County Chicano art pioneer, which was a little confusing. The new building had a rotating exhibition. The current display had an artist who worked with ghostly Euro-American postwar nostalgia with splashes of Victorian and non-European elements. It was interesting, but I was mostly there for the earlier history. One pleasant surprise: we happened to visit on a Thursday when they were having street food, art vendors, and a farmer's market. I was a little bummed that we only had 2-hour parking so we had to eat quickly. I was glad to support a local history institution, and would love to visit again some other time.

I had a great experience visiting Muzeo. I live in Dallas, and I planned a trip to LA to take my mom to the rotating exhibit "Dressing Downton" because she is a big fan of Downton Abbey and that was her mother's day present. I bought tickets way in advance, the tickets were timed 30 minutes apart. We drove from LA. Since it was our first time there, I believed the GPS when it told me that we would arrive in an hour, silly me! It took us 1.45 to arrive due to awful traffic. I was freaking out, because the day before I arrived late at the Broad and they were not very flexible on the ticket times. I called Muzeo to explain the situation, since that was the whole point of the trip to CA, but they were super nice and understanding. I really do appreciate them saving the day! Street parking was easy to find, I believe there is a parking lot and they validate parking too. The exhibit was guided. The guide was so nice and gave us such an informative explanation of every display shown. It was truly more than I expected. The staff and exhibit was way beyond what I thought it would be. They also have a permanent collection that is free. The permanent collection may not be worth a very long drive from LA, but if you are already in Anaheim, it's a good one to check out. A couple of tips: -Anaheim Packing District is right across the street, which is an awesome food court with many, many awesome things to eat. -The Bruery is a couple of miles away, if you love craft beer and you don't go there, you are not someone I want to know.

First time at Muzeo to see the " Dressing Downton" exhibition. Easy to find and plenty of parking at their parking lot building. I think first 2 hours are free, but if you want to hang around, take your ticket to the Muzeo, they'll validated so parking will be free. Hey did have a tea room, however, pricey for what they offered. Look pretty simple for $60. Souvenir store is small but have cute stuff related to the exhibition. Docents were nice and friendly. Conveniently located to plenty places to eat, walk and relax.

We rented out the corner room in the Carnegie Building for my book launch party on 2/20/18. We'd planned for 85 guests, a taco bar, and live band. The staff at Muzeo were incredible! Jessica, Jennette, and Cruz had the set up perfect, and brought more chairs when needed, and told us time an again that if we needed anything, to let them know. They worked tirelessly all night to keep our guests happy. We ended up with 126 people in this beautiful space, and because of the staff, there was room for all. I highly recommend Muzeo for any of your event needs. We loved it.

Read about this current exhibit about the Japanese in the Anaheim magazine and wanted to go there. I had a boss back in the 70s that was in one of the internment camps when she was a little girl and she was very bitter. It was interesting but I thought for the price there should've been a little bit more detail or more testimonials. I read about the camp at Manzabar and it was very interesting that is a book.

Came here for the first time to visit the "Dressing Downton" exhibit. The museum has 2 parts: 1) A rotating exhibit - When we went they had "Dressing Downton" - which showed us actual clothes from the show 2) A small, 2-story museum (Free) - Top floor has a new tea room (reservations needed) and a history of Anaheim, bottom floor had some artwork/ceramics There is limited street parking or you can park in the parking structure across the street. It is free for 2 hours (which is all you will really need when visiting). The smaller two story museum had some interesting pieces of Anaheim (Mighty Ducks memorabilia, Disneyland information, missions, etc), but it was very small and I was through with that part of the museum in about 10 minutes. I would recommend looking through here either before or after your tour since it doesn't take long. As a big fan of Downton Abbey, I was looking forward to the exhibit. I was very excited to see the costumes from the show. You will need tickets (you can prepurchase them on the website) and the tours run every 30 minutes. The tickets were $20, with reduced pricing for seniors, students, and kids. You have a docent who will give you a guided tour for each piece with fun tidbits about the show and fashion from the era. The guided tour will be about 45 minutes long, but you are welcome to go through the exhibit at your own pace. The set up for the clothes were complete with historical context from the era as well as context for the show. The mannequins were life sized so you could see how small Lady Mary's waist actually is! I would definitely recommend the exhibit for any Downton Abbey fans, otherwise it may not be as interesting. I am curious to view other exhibits as they open up, but disappointed with the overall small size of the other part of the museum.

Don't miss this art and cultural experience in Anaheim. 241 S. anaheim Blvd. anaheim Especially, don't miss to visit Carnegie Gallery part of Muzeo but a separate building. The admission is free to the exhibits. Currently, there is a Calligraphy Exhibit representing Society for Calligraphy. A must see event. Open until April 26, 2020.

First visit and I managed to find my way easily via GPS and parked along the street with 2 hours free parking. Finding the place is not difficult, just have to follow the sign and you"ll see the museum with the word "Muzeo". Admission was $10 and it took me less than 30 minutes to walk through the entire exhibition. The first part of the exhibition was about the ancient relationship of humans and large cats and how humans who migrated 15,000 years ago, found themselves living among hungry predators such as mountain lions, sabre-tooth tigers, cheetahs and etc, for thousands of years. The second part of the exhibition was about the grizzly bears. I always seen the grizzly bear logo everywhere I go but have not idea why it was a bear and not any other animals. It was only via today's exhibit, I finally understand why grizzly bear is California's state animal. Overall, it was a small exhibition area and I believe it is based on individual interest if you like it or not. Tips: Get prepared with real-life looking cougars, bears, squirrels and fox displays. They look so real~!

Nice place to get your lunch nearby and then walk around the area. The museum is several thousand square feet. The current work by Chicano artists are great but at the price point they are asking for, the price is steep. $10 for few items. Children price is 7 dollars. All in all this wasn't the worst gallery. the works are great but the price point was too expensive for the few works.

I took my grandson to ty he mask making g event. It was unorganized. They told us it was upstairs; so we go upstairs, get a mask to paint; but no one gives us any paint for a few minutes. This guy who was part of the staff; says "go ahead paint" & points to a container of paint brushes. I say "I need paint". Finally he plops a large container of yellow paint; we didn't want yellow......anyway I finally find a price of cardboard & go around getting different colors of paint from other people then we finally get started in our masks. We are almost done & they decide they are moving everyone downstairs. So now we have to take our wet, half done masks & go downstairs; so we can finish our masks. They were so not ready for this event. But what should you expect from a free event? Here's our finished masks.

Oh MUZEO, I so badly wanted to give you a 4 or even a 5, being that you are the closest museum to my residence, but you just occupy too small of a space for exhibitions. If I'm done with a museum visit in less than 30 minutes then there's a problem. I'm a super fan of local museums too! The Cougars & Grizzlies exhibit had stuffed animals, factual posters, fossils, wall art, interactive sound effects and video footage playing on a couple of screens. Easy to walk through and lots of information to read about on the walls. Across the way in the older Anaheim Museum building, featured paintings from the Anaheim Art Association. Loved the artwork in here, some for sale and some not. There is also a room displaying the history of Anaheim, which I found appealing. Still my mind was begging and desperate for another showcase. Didn't have time to explore the gift shop. The exterior of MUZEO is spacious and usually quiet. Unless there is an event going on. Lofts and condos surround it. I have wandered it's outer grounds many times. Would I return? Sure. Seems perfect for a wedding, reception or function. Just wish it had more to offer in the exhibition department.

Muzeo was the perfect venue I was looking for to host my wedding reception. I had been looking and looking all over OC for a venue that had an urban city feel, ample parking, a competitive price and allowed outside catering. I finally found it here! Me and my husband love local history so it was perfect. I had cocktail hour at Carnegie Plaza and it created a cool modern setting with a nice long fountain. The reception was inside the museum which was very cool for guests to be able to see the exhibit and make their way to the event space which was still surrounded by art pieces. I keep getting compliments about my reception venue to this day, people ask how I found such a gem and talk about how they plan to go back to Muzeo and explore the surrounding areas. Patricia was extremely helpful, flexible and courteous throughout the planning process. She provided me with awesome vendor referrals and any items she could provide, she did. I can't wait to see our professional wedding photos with Muzeo and the old Anaheim Public Library as the backdrop. We plan on revisiting Muzeo for years to come and relive our wedding memories.

Being addicted to chocolate - when I heard about an exhibit about chocolate in the area - there was no hesitation on my part to go. None at all. Parking: There's a parking structure which on the weekends, according to the Muzeo staff, that doesn't require validation. So, basically, it's free. I don't know about time restraints but I was there for only about two hours and my car wasn't towed nor ticketed. Admission: Thank you BOFA! Having an account with BOFA and showing my debit card, admission was free for me. Otherwise, I think it would have been $13 or $14 per person. Exhibit: In my opinion, it's like being in a walk thru science project about chocolate. As you walk from one area to another, you learn different tidbits about chocolate's history even seeing some replica items that were used back in time. There's a lot of information presented - though I felt there could have been more detailed information. However, for the price I paid and for the floor space available, the presenters did an adequate job. Bonus exhibition: Admission includes a visit to the neighboring building where there was an area dedicated to the history of Anaheim. It's an abbreviated history, but interesting nonetheless. There were rooms or galleries of photos to see as well. There were a few awesome shots but for the majority, I thought there were just ok. Not to downplay anyone's abilities or talents, I just felt that I've seen much more spectacular shots at other galleries, like at the OC Fair. There was a chocolate tasting available too. You get to try three pieces of chocolate with varying concentrations of cacao. That in itself was interesting because it definitely shows you how much our society loves sweetened chocolate.

This is a cool museum, located in the heart of Anaheim, close enough for tourists who are fed up with Disneyland, or locals (like me) who ignore Disneyland like NYC residents ignore the Empire State Building. Since the pros and cons go hand in hand, I might as well lump them together. Try not to get confused. 1) Rotating exhibits. Like any other museum, there's always one that being featured or headlined. On my visit this week, I saw the Spies, Traitors and Saboteurs. My visit is timely as Sept 11 was right around the corner. That was a great exhibit, with items on loan from the Spy Museum in DC. Sadly, no one was allowed to take pics of the items. There were A/V stuff (touchscreen polls you can take, 4 min films you can watch, and things to read and touch). The downside is, there's no permanent exhibit. You're stuck with what's there at the time, like a cafeteria with food on a non-rotating menu. 2) Docent Tours. On the weekends, a staff member will conduct an hour tour of the exhibit. Our guide, Beth, was very well-versed with the subject and was rather enthusiastic about the topic. She even admitted to doing research for her guided tours. Downside is, these tours were only available on the weekends. 3) They have a gift shop. I like gift shops, they're like dessert after a nice meal. The downside is, the stuff in the shops are sparse. Without a permanent exhibit to support a variety of merchandise to sell, this has no presentable solution. All in all, I like this museum, having been to many museums all over the US and the world at large and taking this one for what it was worth. Can't wait for the Leather Jacket exhibit (Worn to be Wild) and the SoCal Motorcycle Culture (Lateral Acceleration).

We love going to the Muzeo. There are always interesting exhibits on a wide, diverse range of topics. Currently, they have an exhibition on Buffalo Soldiers. Like other Muzeo exhibits, there is a lot of information and various forms of media packed into a relatively small space. There is also a second building which carries a different exhibit - usually some kind of artwork - plus a room dedicated to Orange County history. Although I would say we usually spend 45 minutes to an hour here, tops, I love this museum.

Probably going to come here a lot, great opportunity to be part of the community scene. Seems like a neat space.

http://muzeo.org/?exhibition=dressing-downton-changing-fashion-for-changing-times A great exhibition of the actual costumes used for Downton Abbey Also just opened is a great tea room for afternoon tea Also loved the shop with all the British Sweets and Groceries available!!

I didn't even know about this place until one of the websites that I subscribe to came up with "Chocolate the Exhibition" event with discounted tickets. Well, who doesn't like chocolate? Okay, don't answer that. The exhibit itself was pretty neat. I learned about the cacao tree and pods and how someone decided to add sugar to the beans to make what is now a worldwide delectable treat. I even got to sample 3 pieces of chocolate with different cacao percentage (50%, 70%, and 85%). I like dark chocolate but the 85% was too bitter for me. BUT lo and behold there was a 99% cacao piece waiting to be eaten! It's one of those you either like or you don't, and I certainly didn't. The 99% cacao bar is sold only at this museum in the West Coast. The museum is pretty small so I was finished within an hour. According to other reviews, it looks like this place hosts different exhibits throughout the year, so I'll definitely come back. BTW, this chocolate exhibit is going on now through September 11th.

Went to see the Holiday Train exhibit on Saturday 12/10 with my wife and friends. It cost us $10 each. There were only 5 train sets on display! They were creative sets. There was enough room for many more sets. The main complaint is the price. At the most $5 each not $10. Don't recommend going.

Interesting exhibit on the history of Anaheim including Disneyland tickets, war ration passes, and other relics of a bygone era. The rest of the exhibit was closed when we visited so we only got to see one room but they are setting up for an art exhibit which looks interesting.

I must have come at a bad time. The "History of Anaheim" permanent exhibit was closed. I guess history is not so permanent. The annual holiday model train show had with eight layouts, mostly larger scales designed for portability, that lacked details. Lack of content led to a short 15-minute visit. Free validated parking in the structures across the Center Street Promenade.

This Place is Great! If your in town, stop and see the Museum Cultural Art Center. Come and see my art works 'Mother Earth' by Robert Refugio. Now showing to the end of January 2018.

We got free parking and free admission to the Anaheim muzeo museum. I went with my family to get some extra credit for my anthropology class, all of their exhibits are temporary; except the History of Anaheim exhibit on the second floor. Facility was clean quiet and had knowledgeable and friendly staff. It was just hard finding the door entrance which is hidden in the back by the pillar with circular patterns on the floor. The exhibits were interesting, innovative and modern. We Will be back when different exhibits are up.

Small museum part of large apartment complex. Well organized small exhibit. Beautiful courtyard with seating but not sure poc will enjoy. When I sat to wait for the museum to open, security guard appeared and fake checked one door near me (and not any of the other many doors). I am sensitive to my presence being checked in public places so i wont be back.

Rather over hyped fire such a small space. It was 1/2 off when we went or I would have been upset. If you're handicapped like me the parking structure across the street is all handicapped on 1st floor all day free. They told me to move my car to the 2nd floor & they would validate - all that extra walking for nothing. Also, the free exhibit was closed so even less to see.

Muzeo is located in the block between Anaheim, Clementine, Broadway and Lincoln. Convenient to the Center Street Promenade, residential lofts and apartments. Great for those who live on spot and are able to enjoy the metropolitan type of living. The area is extremely close to restaurants, businesses, entertainment, nightlife as you would expect from a downtown area. King Tut exhibit is currently displayed at Museo. A $10 entrance fee with docent guide is available. I prefer the self walk through. Most of the exhibits are replicas; except jewelry which were encased. Each display is presented with significant historical information. Visit would benefit school age children. However the way artifacts are displayed may not be as good for toddler children who like to "explore". Your entrance ticket allows you access to a featured artist exhibit in the Elements building as well. There is a mini museum of Anaheim's history nicely collected too. Best to visit in the morning before any major promenade events. No drinks, food, or flash photography is allowed. Suggestion to make attempt and try the cafes on Center Street. Very sight worthy location across city hall.

I've been bored at home since I injured my knee playing basketball--just trying to staying off my feet. Since my knee has been feeling a little bit better, I thought I would check out our local "museum." So I pulled on my knee brace and I'm off to get my culture on. Service - The counter guy was pretty nice, but it took him a bit to try to verify whether or not Bank of America Cardholders get in free. Price - Free (Thanks Bank of America!!) Other - There is 2 Hour free parking in the parking structure on Center Street Promenade and Anaheim Blvd. What was seen: The Building - I am going to use the word "museum" loosely. The "museum" is more like a changing exhibition area. The museum is nestled amongst pretty nice apartment buildings, shops, and restaurants. It is composed of 2 buildings--a stand-alone near Anaheim Blvd and a exhibit on the ground floor of a apartment complex. Both are very modern looking buildings--very clean. Pretty cool if you live in any of the apartment complexes. The Grounds - The grounds is filled with well manicured vegetation and trees--especially the oversized potted plants. There are a lot of concrete seating areas and several beautiful water features. Urban serenity. Frogs, A Chorus of Colors - is located on the ground floor of Carnagie Apartments. As you walk in, you will be walking into the Chimeny Foyer. Frogs runs from February 12 to September 5, 2010. The exhibit itself is dimly lit. Each of the frog species exhibit are in nicely lit aquarium observation areas with all educational information next to the aquarium. This nicely highlights each aquarium station for each species. The exhibit shows a range of small to large frogs and also variety of colors of frogs. My favorite exhibits were the Waxy Monkey Frog, Ornate Horned Frog, and Dart Poison Frog. The Waxy Monkey Frog really look like they were made with green and white Play Doh and they were just chilling on a tree branch like they were inebriated. The Ornate Horned Frog was cool because it basically camouflages itself in its surroundings. The Dart Poison Frogs were nice and colorful--these frogs were used to create poison arrows. State of the Blues, The Living Legend of the Delta, Photographs by Jeff Dunas - is located in the stand alone building near Anaheim Blvd--is on the ground floor and second floor. State of the Blues will run from January 9 to August 15, 2010. This exhibit showed portraits of the pioneers (legends) of Blues music--as well as candid pictures of places that influenced Blues music. I am not familiar with all the legends, but the familiar ones I knew were there--Ike Turner, James Brown, Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, Etta James, and John Lee Hooker. All the portraits and other pictures were beautifully photographed. You can really see the character in each portrait. Anaheim, A Walk Through Local History - is located on the second floor of the stand alone building near Anaheim Blvd. This exhibit is the history of Anaheim--war, vineyards, orange fields, Disneyland, and sports franchises. Did yu know that at one time, Anaheim was famous for producing European-quality wines. However, Pierce's diseased killed majority of the vines. So we grew oranges instead--not as cool. I think Muzeo was definitely a cool experience. You cannot go wrong with seeing different varieties of live frogs, photographs, and getting a little history lesson in one shot. Just be warned that you will not spend countless hours at Muzeo--this "museum" is not that large (probably 1 hour max). 5 stars for coolness and learning. Oh, shout out to Bank of America for the free experience.

I like Muzeo, but definitely not for their admission price. Whenever museums want more than $10, I tend to cringe - unless they've got something really special in (King Tut's death mask, piece of the Titanic, etc). I know they've been going on about these tiny fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, so maybe there's justification for the cost of this upcoming exhibit after all. I hate to get cheap, especially regarding a place that collects history and displays it for the public, it's just... $13 to see steampunk props I could see - well, have seen - at a convention for free? Plus the props are much more fun when you see them with the artists as they bring these inanimate objects to life, spinning all the gears, puffing smoke, electrocuting you, and so on. It's just that it stings having to pay $26 to visit with the boyfriend. Anyway, I've been there for other exhibits. The one on animatronics was cool, but again it would have been better if things actually moved in the exhibit. Another time we were there was during the Anaheim Art Walk, when they advertized free admission. We were only allowed in the permanent exhibition on local history and not into the rotating galleries. The girl working the counter insisted on seeing our camera's memory after we left to make sure we hadn't taken any photos. Overall, it's OK. Maybe not "A-OK," as the rating puts it, but just, eh, OK.

Went here to see an exhibit on Chocolate, and I must say it was a bit of a disappointment. It certainly was the most kitsch "Museum" exhibit I've ever seen, and while they did a decent job trying to tell a story in a relatively small amount of space, I was not happy with all of the replica pieces they had here. When you go to a MUSEUM, you expect to see artifacts that were used for something hundreds of years ago. None of that here. Our $13 ticket did include some Chocolate, which I didn't even eat because it seemed more proper to give it to the lady friend who's idea it was to go to this exhibit. It also included admission to the other wing of the Muzeo, where they were exhibiting a collection of photos that were taken around the world. The collection was titled (get this) "Journeys." Wow. I wonder how long the meeting to come up with THAT title took. Seriously, the pictures were pretty uninteresting for the most part. My parents spend a month a year in Florence Italy, and they come up with better pictures every year then were on display at Muzeo. My other knock against this place is that it is situated in the very weird "Downtown Anaheim" plaza, or whatever they call it. This thing is always deserted and creepy whenever I go there. At least parking was simple!

I went when they had "How to Make a Monster" and " Bizarre Beasts, Past and Present." The reason I went was because I found an ad in OC Weekly and it sounded cool, plus had buy 1 get one free admission. So I got in for $6 for both events. The exhibits are small but it was pretty interesting. Lots to see in a small area, but my friends and I finished the exhibit in roughly 2 hours. Well, the good news is that they have different exhibits every couple of months but I think it's worth it to see the monsters one. If you follow them on twitter.com/muzeo they sometimes announce free admissions or every once in a while you can find ads in OC weekly. Coupons definitely help! If you go on a Thursday, there's a farmers' market right next to it, which is also worth checking out.
