This place was a let down. Very clean and very beautiful. I wish they displayed more artists. When I asked they said they change the exhibits every 6 months. Well when you’re on vacation from another state you’re not gonna be back in 6 months. Or they should update the website to show what artists are currently displayed. That way we can plan a more enjoyable experience. I gave it 3 stars only because the Clive Davis Theater was awesome ??otherwise it should have received 2 stars.

There is so much information and cool stuff to learn here! I went solely to see Taylor Swift’s dresses and was there for over two hours. The coolest part was the evolution of sound room. Def worth checking out!

The Grammy Museum was a nice experience even if your not a big music fan. There are four floors to view with interactive screens. The museum takes you through years of music history and top recording artists throughout every generation. There are also the beautiful gowns, colorful costumes, and Grammys to view. There is a lot of stuff.

Beautiful set up and presentation. Came with a friend with Japanese heritage and had lots of discussions through out the tour. Multiple thought-provoking sections that defines the Japanese American culture.

Reserve tickets in advance for easy access. $16 is the price of admission. No food and drinks allowed. I had quite a head rush to the start of my museum experience after chugging 24 ounces of iced coffee….

I enjoy the variety of art installations and pieces that are on display at this museum. I also like that it is always changing and that it is done with the intention of being thought provoking. I highly recommend this museum and best of all, it is free as is the other location, the MOCA Geffen in Little Tokyo (walking distance).

I went before Covid so I’m not sure of the current restrictions.
—The museum admission is free thanks to a very generous donor.
—This is a medium-size museum with contemporary artworks. There is a whole room dedicated to Mark Rothko.
—I like different kind of exhibits here, unique and colorful. Very well curated as well.
—I went here by the train, as it’s only $10 during the weekend from OC to LA, the fee already include bus fare in LA so it’s a very good deal. So I’m not sure of the parking situation at the museum. But it’s right opposite the Disney Concert Hall so you can always pay to park there.

I went to the MOCA Museum of Contemporary Art, even though it’s small, it’s big enough to display and offer a variety of art.
Admission is free, thank you, and I really enjoyed seeing Jennifer Packer’s Art.
She is an American painter from Philadelphia who won the Rome Prize at the American Academy 20202-2021.
She is exhibiting “Every sit eye ain’t sleep”, which I was amazed by the abundance of talent this artist had.

Really nice museum. A little small but it’s perfect to manage in a hour with kids.
There is a room that has an optical illusion- you’re supposed to go in on your own but kids freak out on there by themselves(it’s not scary, you can just get a bit disorientated), so I would recommend an adult go in with the younger kids 6-8 – kids older can go in together they should be fine. There are a lot of fascinating artifacts and the interesting history of Chinese in California.
Quite a few of the exhibits encourage you to slow down and have some quiet reflection time which is also great for the kids as they automatically calm down.

I didn’t have tickets, so I came early (an hour and a half) on a Friday morning and waited. Admission is free so all you have to do is wait. I was second in line in the standby line. I signed up for the Infinity Room right when I went in. It was an hour and a half wait, so I explored the museum before my turn.

Roy Lichtenstein is one of my favorites. So it was a joy to see so many of his pieces close up. I also enjoyed Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Kara Walker, Glenn Ligon and a host of others. I especially like a piece by Cecily Brown.

Los Angeles has been home to The BROAD for 5 years now. Anyone who has an appreciation for modern art or architecture should have visited twice already. Tho surprisingly many have not visited yet. Well besides its bold unapologetic art pieces. This museum also provokes thought and offer insight into topics both art and human related. Which helps us better understand the artists and their work and the times in which we live. A sophisticated yet very accessible atmosphere fostering an appreciation for art and for artist maybe even for your first time.

Parking was easy and located underground, but keep in mind, even with partial validation from the museum rates will still be high since it is downtown L.A. Entering was fast and easy with our reservations, and they no longer hand out maps of the museum, so you can just go directly to the museum website for a map or scan the code to get the link to the website and audio features. We last visited before 2020, and today we enjoyed the art installations and exhibits we saw. The shop has a wide variety of items that feature many of the different artists on display. I enjoyed the shop much more on this visit because of the wide selection and prices. I would recommend this museum for high school aged students, but there are adult themes and sexual content/gestures in some exhibits, so please keep that in mind.

So beautiful. Such helpful employees. I’d put this museum as a can’t miss for Los Angeles. If anything, I’d possibly say I’ve seen much, much better gift shops. We’ll run, knowledgeable staff, convenient place to sit while others shopped. I’d just choose more interesting product.

I went to the museum and learned so much about Italian’s immigration to U.S, their culture and friendships formed with Mexican Americans in LA California. A must see!

I loved attending this museum. So much Italian American history I didn’t know about until I visited this museum. I encourage anyone thinking of going to visit. Take the time to research the history. I found the building interesting too, it was built in 1908. Rick was very friendly and informative. I plan to go back and bring my family.

I love Historic Museums anywhere. Good Italian Americans or some non immigrants Italians worked hard working past jobs. Cartoons workers, skilled arts, weavers, intelligent people. ???

Really awesome very small museum showcasing some out of the box artists with unique pieces. Only 2-3 small exhibition rooms that doesn’t take too long to cover everything. They use time tickets and there’s a small parking lot at the entrance which was pretty empty when I went. There’s also plenty of street parking nearby along the Industrial St. and even a parking garage. Best thing is free entry!

Wonderful space but the artists they pick (since its inception) are quite unremarkable nor inspiring. It seems that you can easily skip every single show they put up. Not really acceptable and quite frustrating since there are plenty of talented artists to choose from in LA that really need the exposure. Just another well funded art organization that couldn’t care less of emerging artists with curators that just want to look good by choosing the already certified. (Slightly impossible to find parking unless you park in their four spots.)

The Admission: FREE. One of the historic sites on Olvera Street.

The Museum: Very Very Very small museum. Took about less than 5 minutes to see all the display.

If you are shopping or dining on Olvera Street, pop in and check it out. FREE admission and won’t take too much of your time.
