Outdoor Bridal Shower at the Long Beach Museum of Art

Claire's expansive lawn located between the Museum pavilion and the Historic Elizabeth Milbank Anderson House serves as the perfect location for bridal showers and baby showers. On a cooler beach day consider hosting the celebration inside the Anderson House with original wood flooring and wall paneling of the Craftsman-style home. For parties of 24 or less the bay window of the Fireside Parlor holds a perfect backdrop to any gathering with the stunning water sculpture by Claire Falkenstein, Structure and Flow, perfectly framed by the windows. The Pacific Ocean, with Catalina Island in the distance and the Queen Mary nearby, makes for a remarkable backdrop to any event. The Nussbaum Family Parlor can accommodate up to 75 guests.
