In celebration of the Museum’s 50th anniversary, the Norton Simon Museum presents Retrospect: 50 Years at the Norton Simon Museum, on view in the main-level Focus Gallery. This exhibition celebrates five decades of art, education, research and community. Coinciding with the Exterior Improvement Project, which will transform the Museum’s gardens and grounds, Retrospect offers not only a reflective view of the past but also one of the horizon for decades to come.

Celebrate five decades of art in Pasadena by looking back––and ahead––in Retrospect.

Enjoy the full installation of Retrospect in person, now on view through January 12, 2026.
