The museum traces its origins to the Laguna Beach Art Association, formed by local artists in 1918 and incorporated in 1920. In 1929, following a successful fundraising drive, they opened a grand, custom-built gallery designed by the well-known Los Angeles architect Myron Hunt. This survives as the Steele Gallery within the present museum building. With the growth of a permanent collection of donated works and the beginnings of a program of loan exhibitions the gallery took on some of the characteristics of a museum. In 1972 it became the Laguna Beach Museum of Art. It changed its name to Laguna Art Museum in 1986 with the physical expansion that completed the building as it stands today.
