The Norton Simon Museum is known around the world as one of the most remarkable private art collections ever assembled. Over a 30-year period, industrialist Norton Simon (1907–1993) amassed an astonishing collection of European art from the Renaissance to the 20th century and a stellar collection of South and Southeast Asian art spanning 2,000 years. Modern and Contemporary Art from Europe and the United States, acquired by the former Pasadena Art Museum, also occupies an important place in the Museum’s collections.

"This is a gorgeous private home which has been preserved as a museum. It is perfectly maintained and feels as if the family just left, yet it is filled with wonderful detail which is especially fascinating. It is a woodworker's absolute fantasy.
The docents seem knowledgeable. From the moment o..."ne enters, one is enveloped in a different world. The light coming through the Tiffany stained glass door suffuses the vestibule. The stairs are like a giant Chinese puzzle in how they are put together, yet it makes perfect sense. Each room has an individual character, but there is a common texture which comes from the thousands of hours spent on hand working and assembling the wooden and metal strap pieces. It is an enormous jigsaw puzzle.
The gardens are quite small and simple, but fit the house exactly.
It is definitely worth making the time to visit.

"This little museum is absolutely packed with information. By the time one is done, one realizes that it is, in fact, a very large museum. It's like a magic box.
There is a definite recognition that Asian art is not just Japanese or Chinese, but a full spectrum. The orientation sets that up by t..."eaching a bit of geography and history. Then there are rooms of artifacts. Finally, in the last section, there are videos on pottery production and older displays chronicling the history of Asia and its communications with the "West." It is an outstanding two hours, or longer, depending on how interested you are. The level of detail entices you to spend more time.

"This is a place where young, old, fat, fit, skinny, white,black, brown, cyclists, walkers,runners,soccerplayers, dogs, model airplane fliers can all come to, for free, and enjoy in a safe, convivial atmosphere. I salute the genius of the city of Pasadena for creating and nurturing this resource whi..."ch serves the community so well. Oh, and I hear they play golf and football there. And the Rolling Stones were not too shabby!
