Museuesum’s inception begins with this museum rolodex. A Rolodex of New and Old Museums’ Links Directory (ARNOLD) is a list of museums and similar institutions in California. Accompanying the collection is the visiting information for each institution including admission hours and fees. Go down the list, search using keywords, or filter using the radio buttons and find which museums you’ll be visiting next.
Although I meticulously input and continuously update the information, always check the institution’s official website before visiting. Feel free to reach out with comments or feedback here. ▪︎
