Overall I thought this museum was interesting, more interesting than the Bowers Museum. This museum was based on modern visual art. There were a lot of dark rooms. A lot of it did not make sense to me but i tried to thoroughly enjoy it. My favorite room was in the fourth picture, a couple of tvs showing the same image, but it was kinda weird because the lady on the tv wasn't making sense. this was a new art form to me, and well it was a good experience. Id recommend going on a Friday like i did because its FREE, its very small and you can easily go through it in less than an hour. Interesting to say the least, but i didnt really enjoy it.

Bowers Museum in Santa Ana

Overall i enjoyed this museum. it had a lot of old artifacts and a lot of interesting things. There were lots of artifacts from different cultures in this museum. The had a big exhibit from the terra cotta warriors that i wasnt able to attend :( but looked really interesting. My favorite exhibit was the sperm whale one. it showed a lot of objects that were made during the times of whale hunting. its sad to see what we killed whales for, but at the same time amazing how certain objects had extremely high value.  overall i spent about an hour and half  at this museum, but it was well spent. i definately enjoyed what was on display.
