Fullerton Museum Center

Small, but $5 admission isn't too bad for what it is. I liked the Latin American street art and the Fender "artifacts" and history lesson about them.

Decent price, fun events, and the money goes back to education and such. Not a must-see, but what more could you want from a community museum?

Smaller museum with interesting art works and totally different curated shows. If there’s something you like, Just go and see it, no regrets. I saw the pro Sharks exhibit and loved the pro animal theme. As a surfer and open water swimmer, this subject appeals to me.

Came to see the Fender museum in June and again in January and it was closed bolth times I'm a big fan of Leo and would love to see the museum some time.

I love this eclectic little museum! Enlightening new exhibits, educational classes and events, in a low key atmosphere:)

It had pictures of the people who ran for presidency and didn't win. Alot on old time politics, and guitar manufacturers like "Fender. " On the other side of the museum there were scary pictures that seem to tell a story of some sort. Some pictures were posters telling of an era or trend.

Great exhibits and looks for discounts on merchandise. Friday evenings no charge admission. Double check on last line.

Fullerton Museum of Art was the former city library which had outgrown its usefulness. The architecture reminds me of a WPA building built sometime in the 1930's with touches of Art Deco, Latinate motifs, topped with red Spanish tile.

There are two large rooms for showing of traveling art exhibits & the other smaller rooms are dedicated to Leo Fender, inventor, innovator of the electric guitar not to mention other electrical, music innovations. He was a local son of Fullerton & so is honored in being the permanent exhibit.

Alfonse Mucha: The Spirit of Art Nouveau

Alfonse Mucha, a Bosnia Herzegovinian, was a much admired Art Nouveau artist in his day at the fin de dix-neuvième siècle/turn of the 19th century based in Paris France. He made many posters of and for Sarah Bernhard not to mention many other works fo Art Nouveau.

Art Nouveau & the Crafts Movement were both reaction to the Industrial Age which mass produced characterless, products of impersonal distinction. Art Nouveau was more organic with a personal touch & aesthetics that harked to a more genteel, halcyon era. It was a short era that lasted from around the 1880's to WWI, but it affected most areas of Western culture.

We went to the opening of this pleasant, eye pleasing exhibit for a donation of $10. Later we were surprised that it also included a "free" crêpe from Crêpes de Paris that was the catering company for that event. Nice staff that was well organized, courteous, and friendly.

We had a choice of Chicken & Spinach in a crème-cheese sauce; Saint Louis w/ bacon, mushrooms, tomato, mozzarella cheese; Veggie w/ feta cheese, red bell pepper, tomato, mushrooms. Also water or soft drink was supplied. We also ordered a Kölsch beer for $5.

A fun band, Pint Sized Cocktail Orchestra, played many unknown songs that were probably popular in the teens & 1920's.

This special event brought out a large crowd of mostly Fullertonians. Very inexpensive way to spend about 3 hours hobnobbing with a nice representative cross section of the local population. Look on their website for the next exhibit opening & attend a pleasant event w/ a hometown Orange County feel. 4 Yelp stars.
