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

Either way, this museum... more

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
