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 went there mainly to see the Tim Burton Exhibition that was great and then browsed around some of the exhibit who were very interesting. The shop is quite good and has curious gift.

It took me approx. 3 hours to visit the European collection (most interesting for me). The masters displayed are top world quality and I happened to meet a very knowledgeable member of the museum staff.

My husband and I try to make a habit of going to LACMA at least twice a year. The exhibits are wonderful and the bookstore gift shop has a large selection of art books. I have been going there since i was a child and have seen everything from King Tut to fabulous clothing.

We spent a beautiful afternoon wandering in and out of LACMA. I loved the large installations and they have an incredible number of works by Picasso. And you can stroll next door to the La Brea Tar Pits!
