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

I got to see an Stanley Kubrick exhibition so it was great... the regular exhibitions were also very large and you can spend 4 hours there just looking around... the museum store is pretty nice, there is one downstairs also, besides the principal store, with an interesting collections of books... a must see in LA.

Great art museum, good gift shop, easy parking and access. Great exhibits each year. If you can only afford one cultural outing membership, this is a great choice.

While the museum is a really very good collection of art from all over the world, it was their temporary exhibitions that provided the most interesting moments of our visit. The Stanley Kubrick exhibition was especially fascinating, and well worth catching if you're in the area. It is worth the extra $5 fee any day.

It was great to see what he envisioned through his creativity and the length he went, without technology, to create. He likely had a great deal to do with what we are accustomed to now. He sketched a laptop in 1968!

We went to the musuem on a weekend trip to Los Angeles. The musuem is definitely in transition. They are rebuilding the musuem. In general, we saw a number of exhibitions that we really liked, however I really liked the exhibition on Japanese prints. The exhibition had some examples that I think were only added to this particular exhibition, so... More

The Stanley Kubrick exhibition is really amazing and movie buffs gets plenty here. The other exhibitions are top notch too, enjoyed the Fritz Lang metropolis.

I'm always fascinated about the diversity of exhibitions, the quality how they are curated and presented and how you can come back here over and over again and always find something interesting and new. For somebody who enjoys art it's simply uplifting and the summer outdoor music program, offered in the park, is not only free, but also good.

The Stanley Kubrick exhibit was excellent and informative, wish we had more time to spend looking over the remainder of the museum.

Its an extra $5 on top of the regular admission, but well worth it. Food service in the museum was expensive and somewhat unfriendly (unwilling to customize anything even in the made to order grill, for example) but who goes to a museum for the food?

Had a very enjoyable visit here 2 months ago. We viewed both the Caravaggio exhibit and a fantastic historical collection of Stanley Kubrick artifacts, film props and scripts.
