Our newest exhibition “California Decorative Tile” is now on display in the International Terminal! Introduced to California during Spanish occupation, tile remained a central decorative element in the early twentieth century. The finest tiles produced in California from the 1910s–40s stand as a testament to the state’s rich architectural history. This exhibition features decorative California tile by Los Angeles and Bay Area companies from the collection of the Tile Heritage Foundation. See “California Decorative Tile” on display, pre-security, in the Mayor Edwin M. Lee International Terminal Departures Hall and online at: https://bit.ly/CaliforniaTile
