We have closed our interim Irvine location as we take an important step forward—coming fully together in our Costa Mesa home on the Segerstrom Center for the Arts campus.
As a result, we’ll no longer be posting from this account. To stay connected with exhibitions, programs, and what’s ahead, please follow us at @langson_museum
We are deeply grateful for the time we’ve shared in Irvine—for the conversations, creativity, and community that shaped this chapter with us. While this space is closing, the work continues in a new and unified home where our collections and exhibitions now come together in one place.
We hope you’ll continue the journey with us as we begin this next chapter—one that brings expanded exhibitions, new perspectives, and a deeper connection to California art and storytelling.
Thank you for being part of this moment with us. We look forward to seeing you at our new Instagram page, @langson_museum

Did you know that you can get into the OCMA free as an UCI student? And there is a free bus that is only a 5 minute walk from the housing communities??
As a student living on campus this is a great way to explore beyond the UCI campus without needing a ride. UCI partners with the OCMA and gives students an easy way to access the museum completely for free!
To secure your spot on the bus go to the UCI parking website and look for the Museum Connect Shuttle. Here you will also see the times options and how to reserve your seat. See you there!
Last Chance!
We’re entering the final week to see “At Home in Sunlight: A State in Motion, 1897–1940” now on view in Irvine. The exhibition highlights the luminous vistas of California Impressionism to the grounded perspectives of Regionalism, the California Watercolor School, and Social Realism, artists charted the state’s evolution—its expanding built environment, shifting social fabric, and emerging modern identity.

When artist Ruben Ochoa was a young grad student at UC Irvine in the early 2000s, he spent much of his time commuting between home, work and campus. The daily journey didn’t leave enough time to show art, much less make it.
So Ochoa converted a Chevy van into a studio and mobile art gallery. The van allowed him to take his art out on the road with him, inspired in part, by his Mexican immigrant parents who pioneered a mobile tortilla delivery service out of the van in the 1970s.
This week, the van rolls back to the Irvine campus for “Class C,” a pop-up art gallery featuring the work of artists educated or enrolled at the university on view through April 18 at the Irvine Barclay Theatre plaza. The activation is presented in conjunction with “Breakdown/Breakthrough: Art and Infrastructure” at UC Irvine Langson Museum interim gallery in Irvine.
