Santa Ana Things to Do

This is a tiny museum judging by its size but it is neverthless wonderful and worth a look. Bowers is arguably the premiere museum of Orange county. It is located near the heart of artistic downtown Santa Ana where the Artist Village thrives.

Inside Bowers, there is a special focus on Californian, Native American, ancient Asian and African art and artifacts. However, it's exterior is all Spanish style. One will feel as if being in Madrid or Sevilla once entering the Bowers gate.

the museum has been around since the early nineteen hundreds, it houses permanent exhibts of of native californian art and artifacts, other collections Pre-Columbian art from Mexico, Central and South America. California Legacies is a series of galleries which illustrate the rich, colorful and diverse history of the people who settled the West and Orange County.

One other thing that I love about the museum is that you can take photos on the grounds, whether you have a Quincianera a wedding or any type of occasion which requires a beautiful background. This is definetly the place.

Here is a great way to discover the history of the county as a whole and where to begin a day trip in Santa Ana. The Old Courthouse of Orange County is now a museum, which has free admission! Tell me, what beats free?
