Palm Springs Art Museum (Formerly the Desert Museum)

|
The Palm Springs Art Museum is a multifaceted museum offering both displays of artwork and performing arts. The museum has been in existence since the late 1930s and formerly focused almost exclusively on the desert. However, over the years the direction has shifted to modern and contemporary art, including Native American art. Permanent collections include paintings, photography, glass, pottery, sculpture, and architecture.
