Norton Simon Museum

With its curved exterior and dramatic, Frank Gehry-designed interior, the building that houses the Norton Simon Museum is a work of art in itself. The museum, home to businessman Norton Simon's incredible private collection, features top-notch European art from the Renaissance to the 20th century, as well as an incredible trove of works from Asia that spans more than 2000 years. Be sure to search out the three stunning Rembrandt paintings housed here, as well as the Goya paintings and the over 100 Degas works on display. And don't miss the sculpture garden, where the natural beauty is just as impressive as the man-made works throughout.
