The Adamson House is a 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival mansion perched above Malibu Lagoon, once the home of the Adamson family. The house is renowned for its exquisite decorative tile work, much of it from the nearby Malibu Potteries. Visitors can tour the richly appointed rooms, stroll the lush gardens, and learn about the area's Rancho era and early 20th-century development. The museum offers a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of early Malibu settlers, with the lagoon and ocean as a stunning backdrop.
Don't miss
