Continue through the City Hall courtyard, across the street to view an incredibly beautiful tiled wall and fountains that extend behind the Westin hotel.  The "eats" at this location will be obvious.

Then continue across the next street, Los Robles, and you will see both the Pacific Asia Museum and the Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA). 

This dragon graphic is one of several along the wall of the Pacific Asia Museum.

The Pacific Asia Museum was originally built as a private residence for a woman who, obviously, loved Chinese architecture. Personally, I think the building is more interesting than many of the exhibitions. 

In contrast, a half a block to the east on Holly Street PMCA has the external appearance of yet another boring modern structure. But starting in the ground floor garage where Kenny Scharf's artwork decorates every wall, this museum is anything but boring.

The exhibitions are fabulous and fascinating. The museum has no permanent collection, but three or four times a year they mount eye-opening shows of works by California artists. Check the hours at PMCA before you visit.

Okay, now on to Part 3, the third museum in the Old Town area of Pasadena.  And some more "eats" if you want to take a break.

Or back to Part 1 at the station, itself.
