If you like Modern Art, take a stroll through the Palm Springs Art Museum. Check the web for the latest information.
Palm Springs Art Museum is a must-visit if you enjoy contemporary art. With over two dozen galleries, two sculpture gardens, a performing arts theater, and more, the museum offers a lot to see and do. The art museum has a collection of over 12,000 works of modern and contemporary art, including sculptures, paintings, prints, and photographs. There are multiple exhibitions you can usually enjoy on any given day. The complex also houses the Annenberg Theater, where you can attend performing arts events. The Coachella Valley Symphony performs here. Persimmon Bistro is a great place to have lunch, or sip some California wine. l Also part of the complex is Aluminaire House, considered a masterpiece of modernist design. The three-story, all-metal structure was designed by A. Lawrence Kocher and noted Palm Springs architect Albert Frey in 1931 and assembled in just 10 days. Frey’s residence, Frey House II, located on the hillside above the museum, also belongs to the museum. Architecture and design students and enthusiasts will also want to visit the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center, housed in a mid-century modern that was once the home of Santa Fe Federal Savings & Loan.

The Museum Trail in Palm Springs may only be 1.7 miles out-and-back and climb less than 1,000 feet, but this hard, uphill hike tests even experienced explorers with its steep incline and rocky ground (thus the strict no-dog, no-bike, and no-horse policy). The trail begins at the back corner of the Palm Springs Art Museum parking lot and scales approximately 0.87 miles up the side of the San Jacinto Mountains — with breathtaking views of the city unfolding just 10 minutes in. The path levels off at a nice resting point with picnic tables, where the beauty of Greater Palm Springs — from the palm tree canopies to the windmills to the bright green golf courses — opens up in all directions. Though you’ll be tempted to park at the museum, that lot is only for museum visitors; there are plenty of spaces in the free parking garage across the street or along the paved roads themselves. Refuel after your climb at one of the many restaurants and coffee shops that line downtown. Total Distance: 1.7 miles Level: Difficult
