For a trip back in time, check out the exhibits at this museum, which is housed in one of Santa Monica’s few surviving grand Victorian mansions – this one was built in 1894. Curators do a wonderful job presenting pottery, colorful tiles, Craftsman furniture, folk art, vintage surfboards and other fine collectibles in dynamic fashion. It has regular art shows.
