The Maloof Experience

 

The Maloof is an extraordinary place to refresh and renew. We’re grateful for our beautiful surroundings, and enjoy sharing them with others. Here is some information to help you plan your visit:

​

• SELF-GUIDED TOURS: Paid admission during Summer 2020 covers entry to the Maloof compound and gardens, including a new, self-guided tour around the outside of the Maloof Historic Home and Workshop. (Sorry, but tours inside the Historic Home and Workshop are not allowed at this time.) Keep the printed tour page as a souvenir or dispose of it on your way out!

​

• DISCOVERY GARDEN: The drought-tolerant, water-wise Maloof Discovery Garden presents 375 species of trees, shrubs and grasses, including plants used by Native Americans in traditional food, medicine and basketry. Discover works by more than a dozen California artists and sculptors whose works are currently on display in the Discovery Garden.

​

• GIFTS: The Maloof Store features books, jewelry, toys, garden accessories and gifts, including original art and selections from the Sam Maloof Woodworker accessory collection. Up to two shoppers will be allowed into the store at a given time, and some merchandise may be ordered online for home delivery. The store accepts payment only via credit and debit cards. No check or cash transactions, please.

​

• GALLERY: The Jacobs Education Center gallery will re-open soon, showing two photographic exhibitions and a rotating selection of original hand-crafted furniture works by Sam Maloof.

​

•  The exhibition Preserving Creative Spaces features photographs of more than forty notable American artists whose homes are part of the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios consortium established by the National Trust, including Georgia O’Keefe, Jackson Pollock, Sam Maloof and others.

• The exhibition A Thriving Artist Community profiles 48 artists of the Inland Empire region, photographed in their own homes and studios. Many of the artists have been spotlighted in The Maloof’s weekly Artist Talk videoconference series, available on demand on The Maloof’s YouTube and Facebook channels.
