Palm Springs Art Museum’s architecture-and-design venue inside the restored Edwards Harris Pavilion.
The pavilion’s glass-and-steel exterior is part of the experience, and its distinctive vault store extends the design focus beyond the galleries. Plan on about two hours and check current exhibitions, since the material on view rotates.
Why it made the guide
The restored pavilion is part of the subject, not just the setting. Rotating exhibitions add context to the modernist buildings around Palm Springs.
From The Orchid HouseWe enjoyed the Albert Frey material; the museum holds a significant Frey archive, but what is on view changes with each exhibition.
