Santa Monica Museum of Art at Bergamot Station

Frommer's Review

One of Santa Monica's primary cultural destinations is this campuslike art complex located just off the I-10 freeway. The location dates from 1875 when it was a stop for the Red Line trolley, and it retains a quasi-industrial look. Filled with more than 20 galleries, the unique installations on display here range from photography and sculpture to interactive pieces that are both eclectic and cutting edge. Its central location allows visitors to park in the free lot and spend the day seeing art rather than drive from one gallery to the next. Most pieces are available for purchase.
