LACMA is one of the great museums of Los Angeles. There are lots of classic, permanent installations (like Urban Light and Levitated Mass) as well as constantly rotating art sets. They always have something new, and it's fun to just chill and walk around on the grounds. I'd recommend avoiding the cafe though; everything is insanely overpriced (like... more than movie theater markups). Something that IS worth it though is the membership. Fast admission lines, special installation entry, and some other perks are great, and it's nice to be supporting the arts. And don't forget the camera because there are lots of great photo ops!
