Museum Scope
Emphases of the Palm Springs Art Museum developed into three areas:
- Art: contemporary art, sculpture, studio art glass, and architecture archives
- Natural Science
- Performing Arts
Educational programs related to each of the three disciplines were planned, and the new Palm Springs Desert Museum opened to the public in January 1976. The museum expanded again in 1982 with the addition of the Denney Western American Art Wing, the museum was renamed the Palm Springs Art Museum, and classic American western art was added to the collection's fine art emphasis.
