I actually stumbled across The Museum of Death on tripadvisor and I'm always down for something off the beaten path. I personally really enjoyed the museum. I think it was rather intriguing and there is something interesting about delving into the minds of serial killers and other twisted things. Although the room dedicated to embalming made me slightly queasy, I... More

So while looking on Trip Advisor for suggestions on where to take a friend who was visiting LA, I stumbled across this little place. As a joke, I mentioned it. To my dismay, my guests were super interested. Sigh, great. Admission is $15 per person for a self-guided tour. You are shown a test photo prior to entry to make... More

When you see an ad for a museum like this you have to wonder if it is authentic or if they are just trying to milk you for money. I'm happy to say that I thought it was fascinating. Their website says it is a 45 minute self guided tour but I was there almost 3 hours and could have... More

For me, this museum is far greater than Ripley's or Madame Tussaud's tourist traps. Your self guided tour starts with artwork of serial killers. Fascinating stuff. There lots of other "themed rooms" like car accidents, cannibalism, executions. The Funeral room held my attention the most. I've wanted to see the embalming process for many years. So I got more than... More

My husband and I visited last week because he has a fasication with serial killers and what makes them tick. The tickets are $15 each and although I wouldn't have paid that much if I were on my own, my husband very happily shelled out the $$$. It is self-guided so you can take as long as you like to...

I must admit I was a little hesitant/ nervous to go inside, given the reviews that I had read about having to have a stong stomach to see this museum but after stepping inside, all my worries went away. It was a very interesting and surreal environment. I loved the serial killer display, and loved all the gory and disturbing... More

Very graphic exhibit about different forms of death including electric chair, the Mansons and cults. Not for the weak ones for sure. More

While visiting Hollywood, this place is a must-see. Though not for the faint of heart, it serves as a fascinating escape from the glitz and glamour of the surrounding area. When we visited, we were welcomed by one of the friendly owners of the museum and told what to expect- at the front desk there is also a gruesome photograph... More

We came across the Museum of Death via a brochure which was prominently placed in the lobby of a very upmarket hotel, along with air balloon trips, Getty Villa, etc. The museum is in an easy to access location, right in the middle of Hollywood. It appears to be closed at first glance, but I think that is only to... More

This was a very interesting museum. If your stomach can't handle extremely graphic pictures/information/videos DO NOT GO IN!!!! There's a whole room dedicated to autoposies and mortician's instruments!!! It's really graphic and they have videos playing the whole time!!! It has a lot of information about a lot of the famous crimes committed (Charles Manson to name one). They have... More
