Monet Moments – Can anything match the tranquil beauty of the reproduction of Giverney gardens in the remodeled Norton Simon Museum? Stroll or sit in front of the reflecting pool and feel yourself become a part of a Claude Monet painting.
what a wonderful place to spend the day – If you enjoy art and have some free time please visit this museum! It's a wonderful place to spend the day.
Much Better Than The Getty – A great place to fill up on a little art and culture. Not overcrowded and very welcoming with an excellent collection.

A great Treat! – A gorgeous collection, beautifully hung and lit. Not what I expected for a Pasadena museum.!! Lot's of air, space and light. Nice museum shop as well. They also have concerts there in the very pretty garden. The NS is a must for all visitors to Pasadena!
