My husband and I visited the Norton Simon Museum in February 2007. We only had about 3 hours to spend there, which turned out to be just about perfect.

The home remained in the Gamble family until they turned it over to the City and USC. Thus the preservation is excellent. Well worth a visit. Contrast with the Wrigley Mansion/Tournament House... more

Altough the location (next to a freeway) is not ideal and the museum building is dated and unattractive, the artwork in the Norton Simon is incredible! Many of the... more
