Orange County's largest museum, the Charles W. Bowers Memorial Museum was founded in 1936 as a city-run museum devoted primarily to the history of Orange County. In the mid-1980's, the old museum closed its doors and, in October of 1992, the institution was reborn as the Bowers Museum of Cultural Art (some six times larger than the original). Since then, the museum has presented over 45 special exhibitions from all over the world, opened six permanent galleries, and watched its membership grow.
