About Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art

The Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University showcases modern and contemporary art with a focus on work made in California. Visitors explore rotating exhibitions featuring paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media installations. Current exhibitions include works by contemporary artists who blend historical influences with modern perspectives, such as painter Sebastian Thomas, whose pieces reimagine medieval iconography through densely composed multi-panel works using traditional casein paints. The museum's collection spans from 2016 to the present, with an archive of past exhibitions available for reference. A digital museum guide on Bloomberg Connects helps visitors plan their experience and access detailed insights about artworks. The museum is located on Pepperdine University's Malibu campus and opens Tuesday through Sunday. No reservations are required to visit, and the museum welcomes art enthusiasts of all ages interested in contemporary and modern California art.
