Taken from Wikipedia, "The Bowers Museum is an art museum located in Orange County, California. The museum's permanent collection includes more than 100,000 objects, and features notable strengths in the areas of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, Native American art, the art of Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and California plein-air painting.The Bowers organizes and hosts special exhibitions from institutions throughout the world, and travels exhibitions nationally and internationally. The museum has a second campus two blocks south of the main site, Kidseum, a children's museum with a focus on art and archaeology. The Bowers Museum and Kidseum are located in Santa Ana four miles south of Disneyland."
From the guidebook on page 403, "California: a guide to the Golden State": The business section is for the most part modern, since much of it was rebuilt following a severe earthquake in 1933. Bowers Museum, N. Main at Twentieth Street, houses a comprehensive exhibit of early California relics.
