A hidden gem in downtown El Cajon. Olaf had an interesting life, immigrating here from Denmark at 19. Very talented artist in oil, watercolor, pen and ink and even bronze. But the pleasant surprise was the cactus garden. Serene, with birds, lizards and running water surrounding Olaf's relocated original rustic home from the late 40's. Both John Wayne and Ronald Reagan bought his original Western art. Glad I took the time to browse the museum and garden.
Love this place! Went with my cousin who was visiting from Missouri. The man who was working there knew a lot about the artist and told us many great stories. He also opened up the garden area for us to keep looking around even though it was supposed to be closed that day. Would definately go again.
Very interesting and has alot of information on old El Cajon.
One of the best Western Art Museums in S. Calif. Olaf rated on a par with Remington and Russell. Was considered the Dean of Western Art during his prime in the mid 20th Century. He had his paintings in the oval office of multiple American Presidents as well as in 5 Presidents private collections.
