Art museums can be pretty stuffy at times, but the Palm Springs Art Museum has lots of cool stuff. Especially in its modern art and contemporary glass sections. Seeing the ways glass can be formed into familiar shapes and accented with colors is impressive. This 150,000 square foot museum also has an outdoor sculpture garden.
Located right at Palm Springs International Airport, the Air Museum features a large display of historic aircraft. That includes one of the world’s largest collections of flyable aircraft from World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars, such as the vintage Warbird plane. Ride in an F-16 simulator and see historic photos and exhibits from American aviation history!
