Pasadena Museum of History

“This place is rad. It’s really beautiful. We came here for a photoshoot. They have really great rooms and the architecture and texturing is awesome. I heard they do night tours throughout the museum, that would be sick. Just remember one thing though, BE RESPECTFUL. THIS IS A MUSEUM AND IT HAS HISTORY. don’t be a jerk. It’ll cost you!”

“So the mansion tour was interesting and we enjoyed learning about the local family’s life there. The local art was also good in the tiny two room museum. However, we walked away surprised that we didn’t really see or learn any information about Pasadena history except for the one family who owns the house. There are no displays, images, historical art, informational signs, or talks about local history like you typically see at history museums. We still very much enjoyed the visit, historic house tours are always fun. And this house is still furnished with the family’s possessions which is rare and fun.”

“The museum is pretty boring, not much to see. But the garden in the back was surprisingly beautiful. Might be better going on a day with a docent and some event, because I just walked in and there were just some pictures. Nothing special. The exterior is very aesthetic and was the only thing that made the trip worth it.”

“Very small museum. Visited the exhibit for free during the Pasadena Art Night. Have returned a couple of times to see new exhibits during free nights, and have walked through the Fenyes Mansion and Finnish Folk Art Museum.”
