Happy #NationalBeachDay! Venice Beach has changed a lot since this photo was taken in 1918. National Beach Day serves to remind us to keep our beaches clean, so that in another 100 years, future generations will still be able to enjoy a beautiful day at the beach.
Happy #NationalAviationDay !
Due to the upcoming storm set to hit Southern California on Sunday, 8/20 the museum will be closed and all programs and tours set for tomorrow have been postponed to September. Stay safe!
