The museum consists of two buildings and 26 galleries. It has the distinction of being the only museum
in the world committed to tracing the history of California from the 1900s to the present through works
by leading California Scene artists and Hollywood studio artists and animators.
- California Scene Paintings: The museum’s collection includes oils, watercolors, sketches, and
lithographs that capture urban and rural scenes, coastal views, and everyday life in California.
Notable artists featured include Millard Sheets, Emil Kosa Jr., and Mary Blair. - Animation and Production Art: The museum also houses a large collection of Disney art and
works by 20 th -century illustrators, reflecting the intersection of California art and the
