Santa Monica Pleasure Pier:<\/h2>

A Look Back to 1917 From Today<\/h3>

2019
<\/strong>November 5 \u2013 February 22<\/span><\/p>

This exhibition is a visual exploration by Michael Murphy and Jens Lucking. It provides a unique opportunity to view the original photographs, plans, and drawings that Charles Looff created to solicit investment and other support for his popular new pier.<\/p>

Rare images and ephemera from the Stephen Raul Anaya Collection<\/strong>, show how Looff, more than a century ago, transformed Santa Monica\u2019s now world-famous pier from municipal utility into the \u201cPleasure Pier,\u201d the earliest iteration of today\u2019s world-renowned pier.<\/p>

Several images on display are from Michael Murphy\u2019s book Santa Monica Pleasure Pier:\u00a0 A look back to 1917 from Today, <\/em>available in our Gift Shop<\/a>.<\/p>

Our archivist, Sara Crown, provided historical insights.<\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
