Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our visitors and staff, the museum will be closing at 3 pm on December 24 due to the impending storms. The museum will be closed Thursday, December 25 for the Christmas holiday. We will reopen Friday, December 26.

A New Way to See L.A.

At our museums, we believe that what lives in our neighborhoods is as important as what is on display in our halls. 

By celebrating and illuminating L.A.’s diverse nature and culture—at our museums and out in our neighborhoods—we serve as a hub for telling stories with global relevance and local impact.
