Interesting little place, ticket is ok priceAdults-5/students-4If you ever in Fullerton is a great place to spend a morning or afternoon,the for-mol presidents exhibition is very educational, good ways to learn about American history, want to know how to become the next president candidates?My favorite part of the museum is the builder Fenders story, never see anything like the original guitar, so small and old school, good fun

Smaller museum with interesting art works and totally different curated shows. If there’s something you like, Just go and see it, no regrets. I saw the pro Sharks exhibit and loved the pro animal theme. As a surfer and open water swimmer, this subject appeals to me.

I love this eclectic little museum! Enlightening new exhibits, educational classes and events, in a low key atmosphere :)

Small, but $5 admission isnt too bad for what it is. I liked the Latin American street art and the Fender artifacts and history lesson about them.

It had pictures of the people who ran for presidency and didnt win. Alot on old time politics, and guitar manufacturers like Fender. On the other side of the museum there were scary pictures that seem to tell a story of some sort. Some pictures were posters telling of an era or trend.

Fender exhibit plus seasonal exhibits. Well worth the $5 adult admission fee.

Decent price, fun events, and the money goes back to education and such. Not a must-see, but what more could you want from a community museum?

With the exception of the Executive Director, the Staff of this facility is excellent providing a marvelously pleasing experience no matter what the even that one is attending. The youthful staff is always helpful and able to help all patrons achieve a pleasurable day or evening no matter what the event!!!The Director is very inflexible, rigid and unbending to the needs of the attendees at an event and refuses to cooperate and improvise with all involve to provide the most pleasant event experience. The City of Fullerton would do well to replace her if possible.

Fullerton Museum of Art was the former city library which had outgrown its usefulness. The architecture reminds me of a WPA building built sometime in the 1930s with touches of Art Deco, Latinate motifs, topped with red Spanish tile.There are two large rooms for showing of traveling art exhibits & the other smaller rooms are dedicated to Leo Fender, inventor, innovator of the electric guitar not to mention other electrical, music innovations. He was a local son of Fullerton & so is honored in being the permanent exhibit.Alfonse Mucha: The Spirit of Art NouveauAlfonse Mucha, a Bosnia Herzegovinian, was a much admired Art Nouveau artist in his day at the fin de dix-neuvième siècle/turn of the 19th century based in Paris France. He made many posters of and for Sarah Bernhard not to mention many other works fo Art Nouveau.Art Nouveau & the Crafts Movement were both reaction to the Industrial Age which mass produced characterless, products of impersonal distinction. Art Nouveau was more organic with a personal touch & aesthetics that harked to a more genteel, halcyon era. It was a short era that lasted from around the 1880s to WWI, but it affected most areas of Western culture.We went to the opening of this pleasant, eye pleasing exhibit for a donation of $10. Later we were surprised that it also included a free crêpe from Crêpes de Paris that was the catering company for that event. Nice staff that was well organized, courteous, and friendly.We had a choice of Chicken & Spinach in a crème-cheese sauce; Saint Louis w/ bacon, mushrooms, tomato, mozzarella cheese; Veggie w/ feta cheese, red bell pepper, tomato, mushrooms. Also water or soft drink was supplied. We also ordered a Kölsch beer for $5.A fun band, Pint Sized Cocktail Orchestra, played many unknown songs that were probably popular in the teens & 1920s.This special event brought out a large crowd of mostly Fullertonians. Very inexpensive way to spend about 3 hours hobnobbing with a nice representative cross section of the local population. Look on their website for the next exhibit opening & attend a pleasant event w/ a hometown Orange County feel. 4 stars.

Very interesting coverage of the Prohibition Era and the Original Fender guitars. We were able to understand the impactProhibition had on the Criminal Mobs which arose at the time. The Original guitar Fender created was on display as well asitmes from his Fullerton workshop.
