It was a cool place but not good for my kids. They loved the rock outside the most. Great place for a date night or adult time.

The museum itself is a piece of art. The space is exquisite, so open and welcoming. Can't wait to return many more times.

We had an incredible time at this museum. A very eclectic range of pieces. Nice crowd, controlled and orderly group.

One of the most fun museum experiences I've had and now tops the list I give visitors when they ask what to do when they are in LA. The collection is eclectic and fun. Some art has history and others is as recent as 2015. One of the more moving pictures was a giant photograph taken at the Ferguson riots. Gave me a new appreciation for all works of art and I left really excited by a few exhibits. Highly recommended.
