What People Are Saying About LACMA - Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Featured Review
Kim Cooper
Contributor
One of the most popular museums in the city, LACMA has helped build its audience with evening jazz concerts and a strong film series, including bargain matinees. No visit is complete without a wander through the park, where sculptures by Rodin and Calder vie for attention with a heartbreaking tableau of a doomed mammoth family in the famous tar pit at the neighboring Page Museum. LACMA's holdings span seven buildings and 20 acres in the middle of Los Angeles--enough could fill a dozen specialty museums. A labyrinth of galleries showcase strengths of the permanent collection, such as Japanese…

LACMA owes me $26
by rachel1215
I can't remember the last time I paid more than $8 for a museum--and this was the LACMA student price. I went to see King Tut with 10 other friends. The exhibit was built upfirst, some general Egyptian history, then the life of the pharaohs, then King Tut, some Tut artifacts, a video speculating his death, then...the gift shop? I walked in and out 5 times and had to ask the guard--where is King Tut?! He said I was the 100th person to ask that; Tut was in Egypt.
What a tease--not one mummy. I wouldn't have minded so much except that's what we were expecting.
- Pros: variety of programs and exhibits and films all the time
- Cons: King Tut exhibit, museum could use a little lifting up--more college nights

Outstanding and provocative
by blondage
A highlight of LA, goes hand in hand on the tour for artists, collectors and art passionatas. Always progressive, well-curated and beautifully designed. I enjoy almost as much as NYC art museums. Very very close.
- Cons: parking

Contemporary complex of 5 buildings, very nice and broad exposition with good coverage for every period. The interiors and lay-outs show taste. Was surprised to see it in LA.
- Pros: inexpensive, nice coverage, interior

Nice art
by jerry_watkins
I went here on the 2nd tuesday of the month. (Every 2nd tuesday it is supposedly free)It was a pain to get in! The museum staff said we needed tickets! You didnt need one if u came at 7:30. But that was only 10 minutes away! So we had to walk a whole football field distance to get tickets! But when we finally did get in. The art was very beautiful. However some of the paintings looked like they were painted by my 5 yr. old brother! They had some cool looking stained glass paintings that impressed me. Among other things.. The museum has many floors. But the employees like I said are mean! When its time to leave they make you feel oh so unwanted! Almost as if they got a gun to your head to get out!
