A gem of California art. This museum has a revolving collection of beautiful California art and artists. Currently featuring Rockwell and Disneys Mary Blair. Amazing and free.

Fantastic museum with the friendliest docents ever. Great collections of California art and artists. Loved the permanent collection and the Mary Blair exhibit. Free museum, free parking (get a parking pass at front desk), easy to access and enjoy. Great location near the Orange Circle and farmers market.

I had a wonderful time and its feels very homey and the change of collections keeps it interesting

The Hilbert Museum is an excellent way to spend an hour or two. They have a great collection of California art and get some great special exhibitions. The size of the museum makes it very accessible, even for younger children, because it is not so expansive that it requires hours to see it all, yet the quality of the collection is very good so you feel like you have had a really fulfilling art experience. The docents are helpful and outgoing. Parking on site is limited but there is plenty of free parking in the area. And the museum is across the street from the Orange Transportation Center so it is accessible by Metrolink and by OCTA bus. Treat yourself to a visit.

The Hilbert Museum is wonderful. There was a scavenger hunt available. Fill it in and get a poster. Lots of fun. For adults and kids alikeNeed to return for more observing. The exhibits were super.Free admission and parking.bA bargain bay any price.

Very nice exhibit. Lots of interesting paintings relaying to California. Loved the Saturday Evening Post portraits, as well as the Disney cells. Truly enjoyed my visit and intend to visit again.

It is a small but exquisite museum, beautiful paintings from local artists from last century. It is like going back in time and see how these places looked like before all the construction began.

The guest services staff is warm and friendly.They are very knowledgeable about the exhibits. The ladies at the desk were happy to share their enthusiasm and knowledge.Big thanks to all, especially Lavender the student intern- who went above and beyond to welcome us-even sharing her tips for best local restaurant and sights to see after the museum visit. Thanks to the staff we had a great time and learned so much!

Nice museum with also Disney arts inside, occasionally they organize fancy dinners.

Fantastic museum of california art. This collection is beautifully arranged and presented. If you are living in Los Angeles, make a point to come visit.

Its a lovely small museum with lots of art pieces. It also focuses on California local artists which is really cool for locals to learn the history and appreciate art. I had a great time here today.

Nice little museum with great art. Definitely worth seeing.

Great California paintings with a few others. Facility is beautiful. Very modern. Easy parking and free. ..

We stumbled upon this exhibit while looking for the Huell Howzer Museum on the Chapman Campus. A wonderful treasure of paintings/water colors of earlier Southern California.

This is a wonderful small gallery with great changing exhibits. Ive been here twice and enjoyed the artwork. Nice there is no admission charge and free nearby parking too!

This museum has a nice collection of area artists showing subject matter from San Francisco to San Diego. While nothing Earth shattering, it is quality work. Enjoy spending a couple hours viewing all the pieces. Worth your time if you like area paintings, especially water colors. Best of all its free.

Love the programs they present. Visit included a presentation of a detail outline of Stan Vosbergs method for concept through final painting. Many steps and hours are used to historically and spacially be accurate for his paintings. He was informative and info was presented with lots of humor. Good job Stan. Go see his display!

This museum is a great place to learn about California history in terms of art! The service is great and there are lots of great paintings and artifacts to be found here! Also a great place to railfan since Orange Station is directly in front of the museum (it is also convenient that for those who dont have transportation to the museum, you can take the train straight there!)

Free museum where you can see wanderful arts.

Great museum. I was there for the Mary Blair paintings. But the Gardenia school collection was great to see.

Best little art museum ever, the new Westways exhibit is incredible!

Beautiful art and extremely friendly staff. A beautiful small art museum. My tweens loved it.

Nice museum that can be appreciated in an hour. No entry fee, but donations suggested. Free 2 hr parking in a congested area is a bonus

Informative, intriguing and found staff friendly and open to questions and information. I take friends about 3x yr.

Wonderful art work and the tour guide was very informative.

Went for the Mary Blair exhibit, there was barely enough of her art work there to even call it an exhibit. But there was some excellent examples of early American landscape expressionist works.

This is a great little Museum. If you do art, or just enjoy art, this is a great place to hang out.

One of the best museums in So Cal even though only a few years old. Mr & Mrs Hilbert have done a very generous and timely thing by providing an opportunity to enjoy art with a great setting. What makes it happen is the tireless work of the director, Mary Platt, who assembles shows with amazing insight and talent. It all comes together at the incredibly well coordinated opening receptions. Add easy access by car, bus, train, plane(ok, I got carried away) with unlimited free parking across the street at train station makes this onto my MUST attend schedule. Note: it is much larger inside than it appears when you pull up, so plan a few visits per exhibition and definitely catch their Thursday morning docent tour.

Surprisingly well curated little museum. Dont judge the small cover. Inside there is enough to Keep you interested. Very friendly staff. Worth the stop in and its free.

Beautiful art !

A small museum that exhibits important California Artists & their art.It is around the Chapman University campus. Free admission.If you walk a few blocks, The University Campus has some interesting sculptures & collections. A piece of the Berlin Wall & The Huell Howser Museum to name a few.

What a great little free art museum.

We went for the Mary Blair exhibit & enjoyed it.

A best kept secret near the campus of Chapman University. This gallery/museum is fabulous! Amazing California Art. If you love Star Wars you will love the original sketch art for the ideas behind the making of some of the films.

Great museum. Pleasant staff. It was nice to see the beautifully curated artwork from both northern and southern California. While the Eyvind Earle work is amazing there is definitely more to see!

Little jewel youd drive by without knowing whats inside. You should go!

This is truly a hidden gem! A small museum with an impressive collection of California art.Across from the Orange transportation station and walking distance from the Plaza in Old Town Orange.See the museum, have lunch, walk around the Plaza and make a day of it!

Several collections on exhibit with some excellent paintings.

Amazing place to go and bring the kids. Very beautiful inside. Small building but theres enough inside to keep you occupied for at least an hour. Receptionist was very welcoming and informative.

This is a free museum with contemporary paintings from the last century that mostly depicts California lifestyle. I loved the paintings and how there is an explanation and interpretation near each painting. The museum is small, I took the time to examine every painting and overall I spent there a little over an hour. They have a few spots of free parking and a few 2 hour parking spots across the street.

This is a gem with free admission and a unique niche in observable California scenes and rotating special exhibits with the same basic theme. A short must stop if you are in the area. Withing walking distance (or a very short drive) of all the shops and dining in Old Town Orange. They have a small parking lot in front, but be sure to obtain a parking pass from the reception desk and place it on your dash while using one of their spaces to avoid and issue with parking enforcement for Chapman University, of which the museum is a part.

Its quaint and superb.

Free visiting exhibit. Quick hour self or guided tour.

Beautiful Museum. Great place. I highly recommend it!

Great art displayed in nice gallery settings

Gardena High School has an exhibit there. Paintings donated to the School my the Senior classes from 1919 to 1956.

Great little museum.

Loved the Mary Blair exhibit.

Cool little museum with free admission! There was some wonderfully done paintings up.

Each artwork tells the story wonderful stories

Came here on a weekend and it wasnt busy. There is some parking outside of the entrance and street parking around the block. You can see some california-based art. They have the old west ways magazine covers. They also had some Star Wars sketches. You can spend 15 minutes here or an hour. Nice little place to check out if youre exploring Old Town Orange

Great plein air exhibit.

Cozy, comfortable, reflective. Free. Any questions?

It was a pretty awesome museum. I got a guided tour and it was incredibly informative; however, I would certainly go back without the tour to check out the tour because the piece of art themselves were great to look at.

The docents were extremely friendly and engaging. Small but excellent curation. A fun mix of pop culture and local historyin the artists on display.

Work beautiful artwork buy current and past artists really well laid out and its right across the street from Rubys streamline Cafe

Awesome little museum, nice collection by Californian artists, very welcoming staff (the girl by the entry). I liked several paintings, and especially one. You may take pictures without flash.

Free campus muesem which is a fun visit

Nice exhibition space with very nice locally relevant art.

Just the right size to enjoy each painting ...great works

Museum is free and packed with brilliant art.

Some cool local art

Not a large museum by any means. However the artwork on display tells the story of the bygone era of Southern California. From old Los Angeles to the farms of the Inland Empire with each piece telling a historical feature not found in local lore.

Small but packed with treasures: paintings by California artists in oil and watercolor. Love this gem.

Glad I made the la-trek. Open Tues-Sat.

Nice museum.

Excellent art collection . Easy free parking.

What a fabulous treasure in downtown Orange! And its free!
