No, not for the sensitive people among us as you'll hear what you did wrong but for anyone wanting to learn the proper way, Mina is a master in her craft.

It is kind of funny that this gallery still only has a single review... well, let's make it 2…read morereviews now? They're always moving around (though in the same general vicinity), and the art is always different - since the spaces they've taken over have all been pretty small, they have space for exactly one gallery at a time, so it's just a different artist rotating periodically, but it's always neat local art. There are so many good artists in Long Beach, there definitely needs to be more free public spaces showing off that art! Loiter is just one small space (though again, it's been several *different* small spaces, so if you're reading this in the future, check to make sure their address has been updated!), but I'm glad it's here (they've been doing this since pre-covid, so it has some staying potential) - DTLB needs this sort of space, and one is infinitely more than zero! Seen a bunch of different great art/artists pass through here in the past couple years! (Though I've also *missed* seeing a bunch, as they are often only there for a month or two.) p.s. they post on their instagram when a new collection is rotating in.

The director, Kimberly Hocking, is so sweet, and plans fun art openings and always new exhibits.

This museum was SO disappointing! The building is huge so I figured it would be able to house large…read morescale exhibits. Inside there were four gallery rooms for exhibits but the rooms, although fairly spacious, severely lacked art. I mean, the walls were very bare and I felt like they didn't have enough inventory to fill up the wall space. It was weird. Here you have this massive building and barely any art worth viewing. It was ridiculous. The entire experience was pretty lame and left me feeling unsatisfied. I should have known better when their website wasn't allowing patrons to purchase tickets online. The entire museum feels and looks mismanaged to me. It's such a waste of a good building, I honestly don't know how these folks keep the lights on because the exhibits are laughable. One thing I will say, the Guillermo Bert exhibit is definitely worth checking out but that's the only interesting art MOLAA has to offer right now. The people who run this museum need to get it together because the Cheech in Riverside is amazing and a true inspiration to Latin American artists everywhere. Sorry MOLAA, I'll never come back and I'll never recommend this place to anyone.

Even got a key chain and pin for being a Friend member. Mercedes pieces were more focused on women and seemed very personal. It evoked an emotional reaction utilizing a lot of clothing. Guillermo's pieces were varied and utilized different media. QR codes were woven into tapestries. It was just a shame that they didn't work for me. His 3D cut life sized sculptures featured working people. His led masks were captivating. There was definitely a political tone in the pieces. Arturo's pieces were few but impactful. Blurred faces evoked some mystery. It felt dark too. Collectively a great show. They're free on Sundays so there's no reason for you to skip it.

There's also free parking next to the museum which is a plus. It was my first time at this museum and it's a pretty small museum. When I went, the second floor was closed because there was an event that night. I went to see the Robert Williams exhibit which is on the main floor and there was a lot to see. There's also a lower level with an exhibit for local high school artist which is cool. Although the museum was small I was there for almost an hour. I thought the description of the pieces were very detailed and helped me understand what I was looking at.

Otherwise, general admission is $15 and admission for seniors is $10. I visited during the Robert Williams exhibit. Great, comprehensive collection of artwork, past and present. Paintings and sculpture, large and small. There's a small gift shop located immediately next to reception. The basement exhibit was artwork created by middle school, up and coming artists. The second floor was an exhibit surrounding paper and books. Although visitors are not allowed to go outdoors, awesome ocean view from the second floor window and patio. You can either take the stairs or elevator. Parking: I parked on the next block. Free, residential street parking.
