On Sunday, June 18th, 2023 fathers will receive free admission to Bonnet House Museum & Gardens with the purchase of one additional ticket. Whether your dad enjoys art, culture, history, or nature, there will be something new for him to learn and enjoy at our estate. Bonnet intentionally placed her work into spaces where Barnsdall had displayed art from her own collection.

Plan Your Next Visit To Bonnet House

The show puts new works — two large paintings and a work on paper by Bonnet, and 11 ceramic vessels by Silverman — in dialogue with the house. Additionally, donations enable us to continue offering unique opportunities for the public to learn and explore our estate. For example, this year we are excited to announce that we are hosting a Night At The Museum! We are inviting guests to participate in one of our two extravagant experiences. These include an overnight stay at Bonnet House and dinner for two (or eight!) individuals.

Bonnet House has survived with remarkable authenticity – reflecting the creative lifestyle of its artist owners and preserving the natural setting of Old South Florida. This whimsical property preserves the home of the Bartlett family and offers a glimpse into their lifestyle, and the fascinating world of art in the early 20th Century. Enjoy a guided tour of the house with one of our seasoned Bonnet House docents. Enter through the Main Visitor Parking Lot on 9th Street off Birch Road / West Gate. With Fathers Day right around the corner, we could not forget to include a special way for Fathers to feel celebrated this year.

On his final day, Bonin spent this time with his friends and in the late afternoon, he was escorted into the death watch cell. For his last meal, William Bonin requested two large pepperoni and sausage pizzas, three pints of coffee ice cream, and three six-packs of regular Coca-Cola. During the evening, Bonin was visited by the warden and the Catholic chaplain. Bonin subsequently made history as the first person to die by lethal injection in California.

We believe that every person's story is important as it provides our community with an opportunity to feel a sense of belonging, share their hopes and dreams. Thankfully, he is not only a father to his biological kids but also extends the loving branch to his stepdaughter, Zoe Kravitz. Momoa and his kids recently attended "The Batman" premiere to support Zoe. Apart from living comfortably and a few blocks from his family, the "Aquaman" icon has resumed a not-too-serious relationship with actress Eiza Gonzalez. Momoa has been described as a man who is not into a luxury lifestyle. So living in his camper van and wearing ripped clothes even though he would appear a certain way does not bother him.

The tour is offered in groups of 10 to allow for questions and discussion. Please note, that the ability to climb 20 stairs is necessary to fully participate in this tour. The contemporary artists take different routes to spur this interdimensional conversation.

Description – Following a guided tour of the Main House, a docent will lead you on a tram tour of the Nature Trail describing the various species of native and landscaped plants. Docents will focus on the plantings done by Hugh Taylor Birch, and the landscaping created by his son-in-law Frederic Clay Bartlett. You will tour through palm-lined allees, past a stone fountain, a desert garden, and more. When the artists, who worked alone in their respective studios, brought their works together at the site, they were surprised to find “the house absorbed the work in a generous way,” as Bonnet puts it.

A shell midden left by the Tequesta people indicates that human activity on the site dates back to 2,000 B.C. While further archaeological evidence suggests that the grounds saw one of the first sites of Spanish contact with the New World. Brach responded with an enthusiastic yes, even though the Hollyhock House hasn’t displayed contemporary art since becoming a museum in 1976. For Brach, the opportunity to have new art interpret the house harks back to Barnsdall’s desire that her home, which was originally envisioned to be part of a larger experimental arts colony, be an inspiration for art. The safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers is our top priority. Due to the ever-changing health and safety guidelines and the small, intimate nature of the museum, all policies will be re-evaluated on a regular basis and updated as needed.

Separately and for a donation of $5,000, visitors can enjoy the elegant entertaining tradition of the Bonnet House estate, just as its iconic former owners, Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett did. This experience for eight includes a specially curated tour, pre-dinner cocktails, and dinner on the veranda or moonlit courtyard. Menu options may be exquisitely personalized and could include dishes like a scrumptious lobster first course, steak, and a full open bar. For a donation of $5,000, we will be offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience that includes a luxurious dinner for two and an overnight stay in the newly renovated guest suite. Visitors will participate in a VIP experience of the upstairs and downstairs of the main house and take a sneak peek inside normally closed areas of Evelyn and Frederic Bartlett’s private living quarters.

Frederic died in 1953, but Evelyn continued to return each winter. In 1983, Evelyn Fortune Bartlett gave Bonnet House to the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation. Her contribution—at the time, the largest charitable gift in Florida history—ensured that the site would be preserved for the enjoyment and education of future generations. A boisterous example confronts visitors almost upon entry, in the long hallway known as the loggia. So Barnsdall improvised, pushing two Wright-designed tables together to jury-rig a stand for it, asserting herself in the space.

Originally built in 1941 for LA Times journalist Theodore Bonnet and his wife, the treasured pad is embedded directly into the Hollywood Hills and set on a steep, sloping site. As such, the southwest-facing lot offers up epic canyon and city views. In 2020, the estate was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
