Devoted to preserving local culture and the history of Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley, the Pasadena Museum of History contains ever-changing exhibits and extensive research collections including historic costumes, photographs and maps. The museum is on the grounds of the Fenyes Mansion -- an elegant 1905 Beaux Arts style building that is located on Pasadena's impressive "Millionaire's Row."

MOTA Day 2008 Activities:

  • Guests can visit the museum’s 100 year old Fenyes Mansion and the Finnish Folk Art Museum
     
  • Visitors can explore the Museum’s current exhibitions “Mount Lowe: Souvenirs from the Incline Railway” and “Curator’s Choice.”
     
  • Lace-making demonstrations will occur throughout the day in the History Galleries.  
     
  • Children and the young at heart can make souvenirs of Pasadena. Staff from nearby Kidspace Museum will help kids learn about collecting natural objects.
     
  • On the mansion steps, pose behind a simulation of an incline railway car with hats to make you look “old-timey” for self-taken photos. 
     
  • Mount Lowe’s Ye Alpine Tavern will be recreated with the sounds of period music and waiters’ races.
