LACMA is simply not as good as other world class art museums, such as in New York or Philadelphia. The permanent exhibit is lacking and temporary exhibits are typically unfocused. The museum is racing to rebuild the entire complex, but they haven't figured out how to effectively use their current space.

That being said, LACMA attracts great travelling exhibits that are worth seeing. Their summer jazz nights are also a lot fun.
