Best Museum<\/strong>
Museum of Latin American Art<\/h3>\n

Opening its doors in 1996, MOLAA is a gem not just for Long Beach, but for the nation as a whole–after all, it’s the only museum exclusively dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American art in the country. The art they provide has a spectrum that most museums can only dream of–one day you might find street artist Chaz Boj\u00f3rquez or pop artist M. Tony Peralta or landscape artist David Alfaro Siqueiros or…But you will always find an indispenable look at our neighbors to the south and their influence on the art world.<\/p>\n

Museum of Latin American Art is located at 628 Alamitos Ave., (562) 437-1689, www.molaa.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
