121 West 4th Street
Long Beach CA 90802

The Dark Art Emporium offers another eclectic mix of sinister surrealism from a variety of artists, along with their ongoing exhibits of fine art, skeletons, and taxidermy. The gallery space is quite impressive, and it is conveniently located at the back of the Fourth Horseman “apocalyptic” pizza parlor. So you can satisfy your artistic yearnings, then have great pizza and beer afterward. Opening on November 12, the Mythic exhibit is viewable during regular business hours, which are noon to 7pm on Friday and Saturday and noon to 5pm on Sunday.
