The Long Beach Museum of Art has been exhibiting and collecting ceramics
since its origin as the Municipal Art Center in 1950 and subsequently
since 1957 as the Long Beach Museum of Art. Early exhibitions of
contemporary studio ceramics by artists active in California included
several annual design exhibitions in the early 1950s and ceramics by
Gertrud and Otto Natzler, Harrison McIntosh, Polia Pillin, and Peter
Voulkos in California Designed in 1958. During the 1960s, the Museum's
presentations of the Arts of Southern California included selections of
ceramics. As a result, the Museum's ceramics collection includes works
by significant California ceramists from 1950 to the present. The
collection has broadened with gifts to include several world regions and
time periods. The collection now includes nearly 500 ceramic objects
from the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America dated from the
17th to the 21st centuries.
