"The entrance to the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena is lined with Rodins—which gives you the immediate (and correct) indication that you’re about to experience some world-class art. Inside, there's everything from Dutch Old Masters, to Van Goghs, to Dan Flavins. Don’t miss their outdoor sculpture garden." —Chloe Malle"
"The Norton Simon Museum has an astonishing collection of European art from the Renaissance to the 20th Century. It is like a local Louvre with pieces by Raphael, Van Gogh, Picasso, Degas, and Rembrandt. After wandering through the tastefully curated rooms, you can stop in the Garden Cafe (run by the amazing Patina Group) and soak up the sun while gazing at the sculpture garden. There are screenings and live events, the Norton Simon is a cultural neighborhood gem." - OSSO
"A city northeast of downtown LA known for its historic architecture and cultural institutions. It is actively supporting relief efforts and welcomes visitors."

"In Pasadena I noted the Norton Simon Museum’s latest exhibition, All Consuming: Art and the Essence of Food, which takes a look at how artists impacted Europe’s food cultures from 1500 to 1900 through 60 paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures organized thematically into sections titled Hunger, Excess, and Sustenance; the exhibition runs from Friday, April 14 through Monday, August 14." - Cathy Chaplin
