2024 was quite the year of Millard Sheets mural spotting, mostly in SoCal where I live. This post is a recap of the murals seen (9 total). Most are located at former Home Savings and Loan bank buildings. Others can be seen at a museum, library and on a college campus.

Museum Monday - American Museum of Ceramic Art

There was a recent weekend visit to the American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA) in Pomona, CA to view the exhibit “Architectural Pottery: Ceramics for a Modern Landscape” which runs through March 2, 2025. It was my first time at the museum and not only did I enjoy the pottery exhibit, but there were a couple of surprise Millard Sheets artwork there as well!

Architecture Field Trip - Loyola Marymount Campus

This week I had an airport drop off for family members leaving from LAX. As I would be in the airport area mid-morning, I decided to head to the Loyola Marymount University Westchester campus nearby for a quick “archi-tour”.
