Monterey Museum of Art-La Mirada
Contemporary galleries complement the old-world elegance and lavish rose gardens of this gorgeous, historic estate. Located in one of Monterey's oldest neighborhoods, La Mirada began as a modest stone adobe in the Mexican period. It was later remodeled to become an elegant home where the great stars of silent film were entertained. In 1994, the gallery wing was added to accommodate outstanding exhibitions that change several times a year.

MMA La Mirada is a perfect venue for weddings, meetings and special events.

Directions to 720 Via Mirada:
Hwy 1 to Monterey exit (Fremont St). A quarter mile after first stoplight, turn left on Via Mirada (look for La Mirada sign). Museum entrance is on the right.
