LACMA Reviews

Nice place to spend an day. Don't miss the lights on the lamp post

HUGE facility with tons of artwork in different genres for everyone. The La Brea Tar pits and of course Urban Light!

Great place to go see the art history and they have classes for young children to learn and make their own art work!!

Iconic tourist spot in Los Angeles. Amazing there is still tar surfacing!

Come on, this place is awesome. Just, wear quiet shoes. You'll thank me later

Now I know why local residents get free admission after 3pm on weekdays.

Good place and at night great for photo with the luminaries

Of the pizza was so good. Perfect amount of cheese and sauce. I have had a better crust. The pizza was solid. But the wings are why I would go back. The wings are so good you want everybody to try it. Great job Big Al's. I also love the diversity and the sign promoting inclusion.

It was good enough to put it in my hand among the museums I had. It is a museum where you can see various exhibitions throughout 5 buildings. There are various exhibitions of famous painters. Please come.

One of the most fantastic museums anywhere, lots of inspiration..

Was fun but personally not too crazy about art. I'm sure someone who enjoys art would really like this place.

This massive museum is always impressive. I can always find something on show that I connect with. The cafe is also great. Don't forget to hit the bookstore on your way out.

It's a several-thousand-year flashback in the middle of LA! La Brea Tar Pits was uniquely fascinating and fun for grownups and kids.

It is very interests and my 7 year old boy likes me

Quite a few exhibits and the food is pretty good too. Had a good time.

The night visits are incredible and I recommend it to everyone!

Lots to see. Easy to spend multiple days looking at all the art.

Museum is a great place! Has plenty of great art, admission isn't too bad of a price. Love the collection of European art.

An amazing and fun museum. From the beautiful lamp posts to the awesome exhibits. Saw the Guillermo del Toro exhibit and it was absolutely amazing.

Magical place. Fantastic facilities for students and senior citizens.

This is only for the Friday jazz concerts. I have not actually been inside the museum but have gone several times for the free jazz concert. It is a great place to bring a blanket and picnic. The seating fills up fast, but there is usually some space you can find on the grass to the sides. We go not because we listed to the quality of the music. It is more a great place to have some pleasant music in the background while chatting with friends. Parking can be tough if you get there late.

Great place to visit. Very popular and a fascinating museum.

People watching in the evening here is always entertaining

Although we are members, others had to pay full price, $25 when several buildings were closed, due to remodeling.

It was fun!!! Havent seen anything like it...I enjoyed it very much!!

LACMA is not an easy museum to review especially now that it is undergoing a major redevelopment. LACMA is very good for kids and their Nextgen program that allows kids and an accompanying adult free admission is wonderful. They also have very good art classes for kids and adults.

The collection itself is of mixed quality and the old exhibition space definitely needed upgrading. I look forward to what the new LACMA will look and feel like!

We went at night to see the lights and they were awesome!

If you're traveling with children, the Boone Children's Gallery is the perfect place to chill with the littles on your next trip to LACMA. The museum is generally kid-friendly, and there's plenty of space to run around in the outdoor areas.

The staff and layout here are specially designed to assure you a worse experience. The collection here is hardly ordinary. I would suggest anyone to spend time at The Getty Center instead of here even after you've already stayed in the Getty for a day.

Probably the largest art gallery in Los Angeles, filled with both European and American classical and contemporary art. I probably spent about 4 hours looking through the vast amount of artworks, so that $25 admission fee is justified. Keep in mind though their parking is incredibly expensive.

It's very spectacular. It's very wide. It is a little inferior to MOMA, but it is not so crowded because it is wide.

I didn't get to see everything. They let local students (LA area) in for free after 3 pm. I really enjoyed what I got to see in the two hours before they closed. I'll probably come by again and pay for a full day.

The museum is located in the area of La Brea, an ideal place for outdoor recreation and for lovers of photography. In a short time you will also find the Museo Cine, which is currently under construction.

Love this museum. Great collection. Summer concert series are a plus.

So cool but please work on your non-European exhibits.

It was my first time ever at the LACMA. It was 7pm and there were so many people there. I don't know what the Sunday hours for the museum are, but there were people inside as well as outside taking photos and selfies at the Urban Lights display right on front of the museum. The energy was palpable, there were a few food trucks available. The LACMA has an outdoor bar and restaurantwas. I didn't go outside the museum, we just stopped by for the photo op with the Urban Lights. I plan on going inside in the future.

Melrose Street - Farmers Market - Los Angeles Museum. It was a bit late because I could not see inside. The pillar on the main gate was gathering people from all over the world and taking pictures. Of course my wife and I also joined in there :)

Came to Lacma around 9pm? I ve heard to come at 1030pm to have a better chance at a more private photo. Anyways it was nice to look at and then leave or people watch. Plenty of free parking around the area at night.

Beautiful scenery, artistic atmosphere, la must visit

Pretty pricey parking if you're just there to see the light posts.

It's great that LACMA connects to La Brea Tar Pits - made it easy to do and enjoy both.

Spent three hours here and still didn't have enough time. Fantastic collection - highly recommend.

Loved the Chagall exhibit, but the parking is very pricy!

Great Museum! The urban lights are my favorite art from LACMA. The place is really clean and secured that you feel really safe in there!

Great place to visit when you're in L.A. There is already a lot to see just outside the museums like the giant big rock called Levitated Mass, the Urban Lights, La Brea Tar Pits and Garden, and nearby museums. When you're inside the museum, there are a lot to see and do and everything is done so beautifully and artistically.

I'm sure this is a wonderful museum, when the exhibits are actually open. Considering the Getty is free and this museum has a $25 fee for non LA county residents I wouldn't say it's worth it at this time.
There is at 1-3 security guards per room, and some wander from room to room. It may be just because we were under the age of 40, but we had a very uncomfortable experience in many of the rooms. Being stared down like we were there to ruin the pieces. There are also a few exhibits that do not allow photography, but it's not very clearly posted. It's in small print (english only, no imagery) on sides of the wall. We didn't notice until partway through one of the exhibits and got snapped at that photography was not allowed. Several others did as well, since signs were not plainly visible and photography is allowed in the majority of the museum. Some of the security guards were very nice though, and gave valuable information on the pieces.
There are some wonderful pieces in this museum. Some Picassos that were amazing to experience in person, and many beautiful sculptures. The 150 Portrait Tone piece by Mark Bradford is chilling and a must see. However this is the most unwelcome I have ever felt in any art museum. I have been to art museums in Boston, Minneapolis, Milwauke, and many other large art museums and never seen the level of security as this one. It felt like we weren't supposed to be here. If all the exhibits were open I would imagine this is a wonderful museum. However in it's current state, I would recommend other museums in Los Angeles before coming to this one.

Awesome! Wonderful place to take out of town guests

Love the outdoor light fixture art installation right off of Wilshire

Too pricey and not to many interesting exhibits.The Getty would be my first choice.

It's a bit fancier since my last visit (years ago). I was greeted warmly by a young lady and she gave me a map & today's schedule. I came early and will be attending an event at Bing.
