The Museum of Latin American Art (MoLAA) is a museum located in Long Beach, California featuring various pieces of contemporary Latin American art. It is the only museum of its kind in the western United States. The museum was founded by Dr. Robert Gumbiner and opened its doors to the public in November 1996. It offers a significant permanent collection as well as educational program and cultural programs to its visitors.
MoLAA reopened on 9 June 2007 after a nearly three year renovation. 40,000 square feet of exhibition space was added and a sculpture garden created. Works include Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Jose Clemente Orozco, Fernando Botero and many other pieces from Latin American artists.
