Planned Events:

Gamble House
11:30 AM to buy tickets for Noon (or 12:20) tour
$10 per person


This is the REAL Arts and Craft movement in California and the Grand Cal was inspired in many ways by this fantastic house. You must wear flat shoes to do the tour.

Norton Simon Museum
Following Gamble House tour, approximately 2:00 or earlier until 6:00 closing
$8 per person



There is also an impressive collection of Modigliani and Degas as well as a fantastic sculpture garden. Oh, and some pretty sexy Indian sculpture.


Due to the limitated number allowed on the Gamble House tour, please reply in poll if you will be attending and arrive promptly at 11:30.

Parking for the Gamble House is on the street but arriving at 11:30 should assure plenty of parking.

The Norton Simon has it's own free lot.

The Restaurant is about 4 blocks from the museum. We have reservations for 6:30. I will call to confirm after we get a better head count (ie: from the museum.)

Please use the web site for directions to GAMBLE HOUSE. I will provide directions from there.
