Do not go! The permanent collection is not exhibit...

Do not go! The permanent collection is not exhibited until LACMA builds their new $650 million home, which will be completed in early 2024, if it's not delayed further. So all those famous works of art that you think you'll see? Not on display!
Of course, they will charge you a $25 entrance fee without telling you that important fact. Why? Because they know most won't then go. All they're showing is some very mediocre temporary exhibitions. And if you want to see the famous Urban Light sculpture of antique street lamps, that is right in front of the museum and free to all.
So, unless you want to give charity to LACMA, do not go inside the museum. Not worth your time or money.
