The perfect day for your event awaits at Claire's at the Museum

Since 1950, the Long Beach Museum of Art has been home to countless weddings, events and celebrations overlooking the ocean. Located on the scenic California coastline, the Museum’s grounds comprise a historic 1911 craftsman home, two-story gallery space, and unobstructed view of the Queen Mary and Catalina Island. In 2019, LBMA acquired LBMA Downtown, a gallery and meeting space in the heart of the East Village Arts District—complete with 35-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, polished concrete floors, and sweeping natural light. Both venues are perfect for proposals, weddings, rehearsal dinners, receptions (cocktail and seated), meetings, luncheons, photoshoots and more. Allow our Special Events team to bring your vision to life!
