    Have seen this place a million times and finally went in. Very disappointed. Quilts were beautiful but the tour guide was clueless about the history and some of the knick knacks were...questionable (swastika pillow)

    I had a lovely time. The quilts were beautiful. The people there were helpful and we got a little tour of the quilts. We met one of the makers and got to speak with her.

    Lovely house, it made me nostalgic. I think they had 2 exhibits when I was there. One was a photography exhibit of business owners in Santa Monica. I thought that was really good. Nice place to see some art.

    Quaint, interesting museum and art gallery in a quiet and picturesque part of Santa Monica. You are transported back in time by the building interior architecture and original Monterey furniture, along with a dazzling collection of Meyers Rainbow pottery and California folk art on the first floor. The second floor exhibition on our visit was a brilliant display of California Water Color Society art from 1921-1971. The paintings were beautiful, intriguing and unique. I would have loved to buy postcards and an exhibition catalogue. However the little shop has many relevant and quality books about Californian art. Our volunteer guide was lovely and well-informed.

    Received a tour of this building for only 5 dollars. You will learn a lot about the local history of Ocean Park, Los Angeles and the greater area. There was once an Ostrich Farm on Main and Hill. You'll learn about Malibu Tile and Catalina Cabinetry. They also have a changing exhibit upstairs that is fun.

    Nice house with quite a few collection of art works mostly quilt based. An hour of your time should be enough to have a complete tour. Really friendly staff.

    Super nice tour guide, quick tour but $5 to preserve history and enjoy some AC on a hot day was well worth it.

    Not worth 3$, very small Museum with not interesting objects and not much information.

    Very enlightening museum with a lot of interesting facts about Santa Monica. Run by a couple of little old ladies who were super nice, and gave a wonderful tour to my friend and I. Very low cost to attend too! I reccomend giving donations in addition though.
