Today, the museum features particularly strong collections of Asian, Latin American, European, and American art, as well as a new contemporary museum on its campus, BCAM. With this expanded space for contemporary art, innovative collaborations with artists, and an ongoing transformation project, LACMA is creating a truly modern lens through which to view its rich encyclopedic collection—more than 100,000 works strong. With this much to explore, we encourage you to spend an entire day with us, delving deep into the work of your favorite artists, taking a free tour, catching a film or concert, or just letting your curiosity lead the way. « less

LA County does not have the architecture and scenery of the Getty, but its collection is world class and the best in the region. LACMA is adjacent to La Brea Tar Pits, the Page Museum and across the street from the Peterson museum. A great place to spend the day. more

Exceptionally surly staff. Poor layout. Disorganized and badly curated exhibits. Are you sure you want to visit LACMA? If you are an art geek, you will probably find yourself at LACMA during a visit to Los Angeles. Or perhaps you will be lured over by the huge King Tut banners hanging up and down Wilshire Avenue. Either way, this museum... more

They are selling a lot more they you'll be able to see. The artefacts as shown on website are not there, at least some of them. I took that audio tour and was able to get little more info than non-audio visitor. I have been to Museum of Egyptology in San Jose, CA, and I must say that their exhibition... more

The king tut exhibit was great here. We got the audio tour and it made it really interesting. Too many people though, but great places to eat all around LA. Just next door is the La Brea Tarpits, go see that too on the way back! more
