Modern Architecture Tour

The UAM Modern Architecture Tour responds to public enthusiasm for mid-century modern design. Recently awarded a Preservation Award from Long Beach Heritage for the 2017 exhibition Frank Bros: The Store That Modernized Modern, the UAM continues to celebrate Long Beach’s prominent role in modernism and highlights some of the most important architects of the region.
