Inland Empire Museum of Art

Pomona's Inland Empire Museum of Art is a nonprofit art museum in Pomona, CA, founded in 2015 and since renamed the Sasse Museum of Art. It lies about 1 mile off the old road, close to the museums and gardens of Claremont. This is a small, community-supported museum rather than a large institution, which makes it a calm stop for travelers who want some art between long stretches of driving.

What is Inland Empire Museum of Art?

The museum was set up as a nonprofit and runs on donations and public support. Because it has changed its name since opening, look for the Sasse Museum of Art name when searching for it.

Visiting Inland Empire Museum of Art: tips
