The Long Beach Museum of Art

A favorite for outdoor events, and named one of the “Eight Great Places to Get Married" by Westways Magazine, (1/2002), The Long Beach Museum of Art is a jewel on the bluff. Located between the Craftsman-style Anderson Home and the newly constructed Exhibition Pavilion, the Sculpture Garden's 8,200 square feet let your guests bask in sunshine and enjoy a sweeping view of the Pacific. The Sculpture Garden can accommodate well over 500 enthralled guests.

Inside the Exhibition Pavilion, you'll find an internationally recognized collection of 20th century European art and Contemporary ceramics. Located on the upper level of the Pavilion, the Ocean View Gallery is a choice location for receptions and gatherings. Your guests will be surrounded on three sides by fine works of California modernism, and on the fourth, a balcony with a view of the coast that's perfect for sunsets. The Ocean View Gallery and Balcony can hold over 100 guests for your next event. For more intimate occasions, the Museum's Atrium and Lobby can hold over 70.

The Aquarium of the Pacific

Set against the backdrop of beautiful Shoreline Park and the glistening Long Beach skyline, the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific affords guests one of the most unique event experiences. Where else can guests meet, dine, or dance surrounded by beautiful tropical fish, large Yellowtail and Leopard Sharks? We've accommodated over 700 guests in the stunning Great Hall from which the Aquarium's ocean-inspired architecture is best enjoyed. More than double that number of guests can be accommodated in the entire aquarium. Surrounded by a lovely boardwalk and the eleven acres of sloping lawns that make up Shoreline Park, the Aquarium is within an easy stroll of Shoreline Village and the Convention Center and located just across the bay from the Queen Mary.
