AMOCA Finance Reviews

This is a hidden gem of Pomona. Really great studio space and galleries!

Well worth the drive to view their beautiful collection of ceramics. They lack for space, but don't lack for their utilization of it. Every wall has something to be admired or criticized. Stopped in when their PST exhibit on Kukuli Velarde was up, and had a chance to see their "We The People" and "Mettlach" exhibitions.

Would love to visit again and see in particular their Mesoamerican ceramics. It was complimented well by the Kukulia Velarde exhibition, and I hope in the future they continue to highlight Mesoamerican ceramics and their affects on the works of contemporary artists.Their Mettlach exhibition is unfortunately squeezed into a hallway on the lower floor, but shouldn't be missed. Their main display, on American ceramics and politically-relevant current events show that this institution is not afraid to delve into politically charged areas of analysis.

If you are into Millard Sheets, a beautiful mural extends across one whole wall. It is impossible to take a single picture of the whole piece. Definitely check this out if you are into California regional art.

So much fun stuff to look at not only that so much hands on stuff to learn about ceramics

My dad had some work shown here. I had driven past the place regularly and never expected much. It's a nice exhibition spot and the people working there were very friendly and professional.

AMOCA Museum is worth a peak.... Take pottery lessons here and who knows? You might just get a chance to work with various artists here.

Excellent museum...never knew i liked ceramics until coming here. Check out permanent Millard Sheets mural

It has a variety of art in it will be mico and a great pair that adero

The stuff they sell were exspensive like 1 pin for 4 dollar but if trying to relax and have fun I recommend this place

Finally took a look inside to find plenty of ceramic pieces for sale as well as books. They also offer classes and workshops and more!

This is a hidden gem of Pomona. Really great studio space and galleries!

Very nice museum with a ceramic class in the back, definitely looking forward to attending a class

One of my favorite museums where I could see only ceramic pieces. There is quite a variation of pieces displayed considering the fact that this place isn't that big. I saw a collection of high school student's work here which was awesome! I was amazed by all the work these students presented. It's so inspiring! Great museum!

Had no idea how much I'd enjoy it. Although the museum is rather small, I loved the exhibits so much that I definitely would love to return. I'd encourage anyone to check it out at least once. I fell in love with some of the pieces on display. The teapots were amazing!

This place is amazing please come there is a free day every three months for the recent ones from Pomona My children were extremely fun with Claudia's class it was relaxing and exciting my niece liked a lot she learned how artists express themselves with Ceramics also my son left a memory of claid for 3l museum thanks #AMOCA

AMOCA is a great museum for the ceramic art enthusiast. I recommend the Juan Quezada exhibition.

Good for a one stop ..quick stop to say you went . You really need to be in to that kind of history to be jumping up and down about it. If you do make the trip pick up your groupon for it

Reasonably priced, intriguing collection, pleasant staff

Surprisingly large galleries + lecture hall for a local museum, thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon here

Amazing permanent collection, great curators, great openings. A small but important institution in the SoCal art world.

I loved this museum. The ceramics were of high quality. They have a small gift shop with beautiful items. My favorite part of the museum was being able to watch the artists create their peices. Make sure you check their website site for time and days they are open.

Great museum with interesting and informative exhibits ranging from indigenous/ new world artists to European and Chinese cultures. Also they have a great gift shop.

Very well worth the drive to Pomona, what a gem of a museum and studio dedicated to ceramic arts. The Mata Ortiz exhibit is fantastic, definitely made me appreciate traditional firing.

What a fantastic place for the whole family! Great learning experience and information

We took a group to see the museum for the first time and was very impressed. Our guide Ashley was very informative and friendly. She made it enjoyable.

Great find, wonderful exhibit. Fab ceramics and political message.

Very interesting museum with several pieces from a master potter. Intricate designs with unique patterns. Beautiful showroom with bright glass cases. A potter's studio is also on premises where several students learn from master potters. They also have a gift shop where you can buy some if the students work which are beautiful. The prices are also reasonable. Go give em a visit.

Perhaps little known and out of the way, but well worth a visit.

Not many museums cater to ceramic artists, so for that I laud AMOCA, but I couldn't help but want more. The renovated bank which hosts AMOCA is clean and surprisingly modern, showing how much the curators care for the place. That being said, I thought only two of the exhibits were particularity strong and only one gave any context to the art within. Also, the entire time the silence and echoing empty quality made me feel a bit uneasy. I can't say specifically why but I felt like some background noise would have curbed the off putting feeling I got from wandering the sparse halls.

I've loved this museum all my life. Brought my 2 kids & 3 nephews here several times & now I get to bring both of my Grandkids here too. Little kids are always in awe & I still am too. I highly recommend this museum to everyone to pay this museum a visit or 20! Just pack a lunch cuz the prices at the food court here are ridiculous.

This is a really fun, intimate museum. They are currently working on having a permanent collection; however, in the main gallery are revolving works featuring some of the best ceramic artists, such as Elaine Katzer, Betty Davenport Ford and Chris Gustin (to name just a few!). You can also see works from the old masters such as Peter Voulkos and Paul Soldner. Attached to the museum is a wonderful studio where you can see ceramic artists working. The studio also offers a variety of classes.

I love the people in the studio :) super friendly! I've been going for the past four months it's wonderful :)

AMOCA is not only a wonderful museum, but also a studio where established artists create beautiful pieces and people who are interested in learning ceramics can take classes. There are many different classes and workshops held in the studio; including hand building and wheel throwing classes and workshops such as making your own brushes.

Well curated, ever changing, world class pottery exhibits (functional to sculptural). Wonderful gift shop with a wide range of pottery and a fantastic book selection. A good, small lecture hall with frequent guest artist talks. Phenomenal workshop space (wearhouse size, with so many kilns) where they teach classes, offer studio space, do workshops and more.

Beautifully Romantic and Delicious Food!
Came here for my boyfriend's birthday dinner and we were both entranced by the romantic and picturesque ambiance. We started at the bar and the bartender was friendly, outgoing and very helpful.

Quite place. Political art anti-current government in one room. Nicely displayed. I would go again.

I would of never expected to see such nice art in Pomona.

Small unique museum, go and support a great local museum

It was very much well worth it me driving all the way from LA to come and look at all these amazing stuff

Founded in 2003, this museum in nearby Pomona showcases the technology, creation, history, and art of ceramics through studio programs, outreaches, collections and exhibits.

Not only does it feature permanent displays, but the museum also has fascinating rotating exhibits. So, don t forget to check out the dates. For families with younger kids, little ones might enjoy activities that teach them about art and clay.

You can also buy some ceramic items and learn how to create artworks.

i really liked this little museum hidden in pomona. it's the definition of a hidden gem out here. they have a pretty big parking lot and they were not busy when we visited on a saturday afternoon. they do have an upstairs portion and downstairs so make sure you don't forget to check out both

A must visit. Excellent exhibits. New exhibit coming in a couple weeks. Great space, and the ceramics workshop is impressive. Classes are offered at various levels. Friendly staff and store has some interesting items.

A lot of nice artwork and pieces created by people who were talented in ceramics... They were about to close down the exhibit when our group arrived but they saw we did come from a ways away so they let us in check things out. Very cool the man that met us was polite and professional a plus all the way

Always a great place to visit. If you're an art lover, then this is a must!

Outstanding gem of a museum and worth seeing and supporting.
