Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum - Long Beach, CA - Art Museums on Waymarking.com

When I visited in August 2020, the museum was undergoing restorations.

From the website, "The Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum permanent collection is a visual learning resource and an archive of contemporary culture. Regularly exhibited at the Museum and also often lent to other museums around the world, the collection is unique in its focus and quality among the California State University system collections. Since its foundation as a collecting institution in 1973, when it was called University Art Museum, the Museum has worked with individuals, foundations, business, and governmental agencies to collect over 2,000 objects. When the Museum reopens in 2022 following a two-year facility expansion, the collection will be available in expanded galleries and in new archives and works on paper study rooms.

Recently, the Museum’s advisory board adopted a new code of ethics wherein the following commitment is named: The Board of Advisors is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access. Advisors will fight against racism and bias and support the Museum in its efforts to be anti-racist and anti-biased. With this in mind and cognizant that museums play an extraordinary role in shaping how the human community thinks about identity, who makes and what gets called art, what art should be in museums, and other important topics, the collections and acquisitions committees of the Museum have created a new collections priorities document that will guide the Museum as it adds additional works of art to the permanent collection.

Though far from exhaustive, the following is a descriptive list of important sub-collections within the larger permanent collection of the Museum."
