Architecture and Design positions Palm Springs Art Museum as an exemplary venue for modernism and its legacy in the 21st century. Our renowned collection of modernist buildings, including Frey House II and the Aluminaire House, reinforces our role as a destination for exploring modern architecture and design.
Through exhibitions, programs, and scholarship, we share untold stories of Southern California modernity and celebrate the region’s lasting influence on global design.
