LACMA Reviews

If you want to go recently, it is recommended to install art photography outside. Some museums are under renovation or restricted to open. I spent 25 dollars to go in and feel that I did n t see anything

In every way, I find LACMA is the best museum in Los Angeles, in terms of permanent collection, special exhibitions, campus size, food options, etc. Let me compare. (1) Broad: Despite fantastic collections and exhibitions, Broad in Downtown LA is always crowded and too small. As of June, 2018, it is still hard to reserve entrance tickets online (free). (2) MOCA is similar. The two museums focus on contemporary art. So if it's not of your interest, avoid. (3) Getty: not many interesting exhibitions are held at the Getty. People go there to hang out around the campus. LACMA exhibits classical, modern, and contemporary art collections. It promotes art education of the younger generation, so you can enroll your kids for free and have them visit the museum for free until they become 18 years old. One adult gets a free entrance, as well. It has a cafe in front of their main court (pricey though). If you'd like to save $ for parking, try to find a curbside spot on 6th street (4 hours = $4). With a 10 minute walk, you can save a lot.

Cool to see a piece of the Berlin Wall out on the display.

Standard exhibits are a bit dull, but their specialty exhibit is always amaxing. The Del Torro exhibit was jaw dropping

I love this dey up. Very great back ground for all sorts of shots!

I just went to the outside exhibits and loved them.

The parking at LACMA is the best option for parking. 8 USD per hour. Use your creativity to capture great photos here.

Haven't been inside yet but have been to multiple performances a couple years ago that were hosted by Murs. Great place tho and it's looks great from the outside.

Very nice museum, even though we just passed through to get to the cafe in the back. The lamp post exhibit was very cool! I'm sure you've seen it in a few movies before. Fun to take pictures. The cafe was pretty good as well with some gluten free and vegan options.

There is a bit of everything for everyone. I really enjoyed the Japanese art. Beautiful architecture throughout the grounds. And the location is amazing for tourists, the tar pits are nearby and there's loads of food trucks and shopping all around.

Closes really early for some reason (5 p.m.), so I couldn't catch the Korean writing exhibit before leaving town. But it was nice that you can access a decent number of public works without paying the hefty admission ($25) and just relax in an artistic atmosphere in the outdoor seating area or hit up the gift shop.

His family members to get it would like that I have no idea what the most likely permanent residents in this year of

The lampposts in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art are really a good idea. This place must be seen at night.

Pretty awesome museum for all ages. If you have the time, don't hesitate to stop by.

Outstanding collection of art. Beautiful museum with many types of art. Many things to see and do. A great all day experience.

I love this place... Just like in the most of the chick flicks with the lamps decor

Worth a visit if you have a few days in LA. My favourite exhibits were the dozen or so Picasso pieces and the 3D section was fun. The highlight was a cinema with a brief history of 3D movies.

This has been one of my favorite places in the world for the last 25 years. My daughter's love it. Jazz Fridays are amazing.

A must see for any LA Vistors, do not forget to check out the La Brea Tar Pits next door.

Very beautiful and full of information. I learned a lot

If you like contemporary art, there are many famous works I've seen on paper. There was also an underground parking lot. I'm looking forward to seeing a new building under construction on the side grounds.

One of my favorite places. If you have a student ID you get a discount.

The broad contemporary part was cool but I found their permanent collection boring
It would be nice if people weren't walking around with alcohol in their hand (there is a bar there and me no like it)
Design of museum interesting and the outsideness of the place is kinda cool

Great pieces of art & sculptures. I loved every minute of it.

Had a great time here with my son. On Sunday they had arts and crafts for the kids

Great museum for art but there was a lot of construction going on in some of the buildings. Also, some of the galleries were hard to find even after asking the staff. Give yourself a lot of time and sunblock.

Unfortunately, it was not enough time to go to it ... God willing, next time

The place is very pretty and the ambiance is nice. I love the artworks. The staffs are very assistive and the place is well-maintained.

Come here at night like 11-12ish its not crowded at all and you get to take lots of pictures

As a visitor to Los Angeles I'm glad I decided to stop here on my short stay. From the architecture to the art exhibits, this massive complex of buildings was quite impressive. It's a good place to take kids and there are many great photo opps. Me and my daughter enjoyed a Friday afternoon here and also took in some convenient food truck fare across the street on Wilshire.

A Most..
Best place ever

Good museum, A LOT of rooms are closed as on refurbishment (?)

This was an amazing experience. Our family has a great time.

Great stuff, though having so many exhibits closed made me feel like I wasn't getting my money's worth. Ah, well. I still saw works by Picasso, Rivera, Matisse, and many other noteable artists, including a wonderful exhibit of Chinese art ("The Allure of Matter"). $16 to park. $25 to enter for non-member non-resident a like me.

Most of the museum is down for construction but they're still charging full price to see a 12th of the museum. My bf has never been and really wanted to see it while we were there. Staff assured us it's worth the full price as there's a lot of new work that normally you'd have to pay to see. Fineeeeeee.

Nope I saw all the work from the last time I'd visited a few years prior. So not worth going to if you've been there before and they want you to pay full price.

The attitudes of most of the stuff including cafes and many visitors is the biggest obstacle to enjoy the great museum.

Both the temporary and the permanent exhibitions are very worthwhile. Fascinated by the Korean and Chinese contemporary art exhibition. Let's hope the new building will have better facilities, in particular food.

I love every visit I make to LACMA thank you for delightful exhibitions constantly.

A really solid museum. The lights out front were actually my favorite part though.

The Guillermo Del Toro exhibit was phenomenal. Would highly recommend.

The LACMA is a major museum space and it hosts a lot of events. Going to the ground is free, but you have to pay to go inside the buildings were some of the exhibits are in. The sheer size of the space is a lot, I recommend going for specific curated exhibits, because they have some great exhibits. This year alone (2018) I saw: City and Cosmos: The Arts of Teotihuacan, Painted in Mexico, 1700 1790: Pinxit Mexici, and 3D: Double Vision. All three were amazing and some of my favorites this year. They participate in free museum days, and you can park on the street to also save on parking. The LACMA is huge, I recommend a solid 3 hours for it, and comfortable shoes

Inspiring modern art paintings. Until the reopening of about half of the exhibition, the museum cannot be considered 'huge'.

Used the bathroom here. Very clean, well stocked and pleasant. Would use again!

Lots to do. Much to see. The LACMA is perfectly situated in the middle of los Angeles and offers programs for everyone in the family.

Trippy art didn't know it's not always expressed by being drawn ...

I love LACMA. But it needs a major makeover which apparently is happening soon. The sooner the better

A lot of exhibits, probably take 3 hours to go through it all

Unfortunately there were only two buildings you were allowed to enter. And only half of the rooms were accessible.
The LACMA is apparently a single construction site at the moment and nevertheless the full price is required. I think it's a shame for a city like LA.

What a wonderful art museum! Definitely worth the stop if you are in LA. They rotate exhibits out, but all of them are worth a see.

A very nice place it's a must go if you haven't already

Beautiful day in the museum with my children and my wife.

Great place to visit and experience a broad range of art across different mediums from different areas of the world. We were drawn in by the Robert Mapplethorpe photo exhibit which was fantastic in its presentation and content. We also enjoyed a number of other exhibits though more than I would have liked were closed for renovations and/or installations. We partook in one of the guided tours and though it was only 20 minutes and looked at only two paintings it was well worth the time and helped us gain insight into the art.

As others have said, certain exhibits require specially purchased tickets but as long as you do this online you won't risk not being able to get one and it really saves time when you get to the museum. Simply go to will call, give your name and pickup.

Parking was $12 for the day at a very nearby parking lot.
