Seems like a lot of the Dali exhibit was gone. The mural was gone as well. The remaining works were…read morejust the aliyah collection and the divine comedy collection, definitely not what people were expecting when you hear "Dali." There were some other local artists' works upstairs, only one that was entertaining was the works by Jo Mora. For $25, it's pretty steep, that's the same price I paid to go through 7 museum floors at SFMOMA, this place has 2 house floors. I spend my sweet time at museums, and this place took me an hour and I've read every card, looked closely at every piece of work. SFMOMA took me 2 days to go through everything, this was back when they had the indoor pond for the sounds exhibit too. So a normal person can easily finish in like 15-20 minutes. Unless you tell yourself artists are poor until they die and with $25 you can support them for a cup of Joe and a sandwich, then this place aint worthwhile.

Yes, it is mostly copies... but you can still see his work. Learn some things and enjoy the day…read more Thankfully it was a quiet day, could just walk around enjoying everything. Some of his art is repetitive. You will see several versions of his elephant/mosquito, sometimes horse..... There is nudity... and some is a little extreme... but my 6 year old didn't really see the morbid parts, just things that seemed silly. So I think it's fine taking young kids..... there is a hall, which a huge sign that says sensitive content, and I would NOT take a child there. But it's sectioned off. There's some interesting information on that sign as well, that I was not aware of.... He wasn't a fan of women parts and some of his art expresses that. He was definitely an eccentric artist. It was a fun trip, I'd recommend to others who enjoy art and know what they're walking into!

Excellent staff! I bought my senior lifetime National Parks pass, today. Yeah!…read more Years ago mother bought hers for $10, now $80: but good for your lifetime. Regular annual passes are $80 ( under 62). To buy a senior pass, must be 62+. To buy online at the website $10 extra, for processing. Covers everyone in your car, for National parks. If you visit a field office, get the card immediately and paper maps ( Fort Ord). I visited the state parks website and they are sending me a card, too. Fabulous, because I am a country girl and prefer nature walks. Concrete jungles (cities) are good for shows, shopping and spending $$$, but I prefer the fresh air, sounds and sights of nature. We are so fortunate!!!

My review is not for the active San Carlos Cathedral church services. Instead it's for the Royal…read morePresidio Chapel historic federal landmark. They are both the same building. Currently the San Carlos Cathedral Catholic Church uses the Presidio Chapel. When services are not occurring, visitors can explore the interior and outside facade. There is no charge to walk about, it's free. The present sandstone chapel construction was completed in 1795. The native Americans labors built the chapel. The Monterey Presidio was founded in 1770 as the second of four Spanish Presidios. At that time, the presidio's chapel served for the Spanish soldiers and dignitaries. It's the oldest stone building in California. When walking about the exterior of the chapel take note of the marked lines to the right of the building. Those lines indicate chapel construction (where, what, and when). The current building is shaped as a cross. Directly in the back there is a plaque memorializing where the Oak tree stood in 1770 where Father Junipero Serra broke ground for the chapel construction. The tree was removed in 1905 when it was damaged. But the tree holds important place in Monterey history. In 1602, it is said that Spanish explorer Vizcaíno followed the creek from the Bay and noticed this majestic oak tree. Under that tree he and with the friars, traveling in his expedition, held Mass under the tree and claimed the area for Spain. Father Serra followed Vizcaino's directions to the site in 1770 to establish a mission and presidio. But a year or two later he decided to build the mission in Carmel instead. But the presidio continued with building the chapel. Pieces of the grand tree have been preserved and are located in various local museums. Now let's talk about out the interior. The church doors are left open during the day welcoming all inside. Inside there are paintings and statues including are originals such as the Stations of the Cross, St John, Sorrowful Mother, and Spanish Madonna. As you enter the church, look up and the exterior and take notice of the Our Lady of Guadalupe statue; it's still the original making it the oldest non-indigenous statue in California. Also throwing it out there that there are cameras all over and everything is monitored. So don't be a doofus. Just enjoy and soak in the history.
