Museum of Neon Art
Art museum in Glendale, California
The Museum of Neon Art (MONA) is an institution that exists to encourage learning and curiosity through the preservation, collection, and interpretation of neon art. The first museum devoted to art that incorporates neon lighting, it exclusively exhibits art in electric media, including kinetic art and outstanding examples of historic neon signs.[1] The collection includes neon signs from the Brown Derby and Grauman's Chinese Theatre.[2]
For over 20 years Kim Koga was executive director, overseeing crucial moves of the institution and finding it a home in Glendale. In 2020 Corrie Siegel was appointed as executive director.[3]
In addition to exhibitions and tours, the museum offers introductory classes in glass bending held in the museum's state-of-the-art studio.[4]
