Description

You are bidding on 4 day passes to the Bowers Museum.

No expiration date.

For over eight decades, the Bowers Museum has evolved in many ways. From a relatively small museum focusing on Orange County history, the Bowers is now 8.6 times larger. Now it has the distinction of being the largest museum in Orange County, and one of the finest cultural arts museums in the region. Its collections, programs, and exhibitions still include Orange County history, but now reflect the demographics of Southern California by celebrating its diverse cultural makeup, with major emphasis on the fine arts of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the Pacific. The Bowers Museum?s permanent collection has grown substantially since the museum?s inception. Currently, the collection numbers over 90,000 artifacts and works of art. Shortly after the Bowers celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1986, the museum closed its doors for a period of self-study, evaluation, and rebuilding for the 21st century. What emerged when it reopened its doors in October of 1992 was a new museum ready for the next millennium. With the addition of the new Dorothy and Donald Kennedy Wing in February of 2007, the museum added a permanent Chinese exhibition, along with additional galleries for special exhibitions and a growing Oceanic collection, a spacious event venue, and a 300-seat auditorium, all to advance its mission to enrich lives through the world?s finest arts and cultures.
