If a traveling visitor to Los Angeles or a current resident, you should definately visit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) at least once. They hold an extensive catalog of fine art and modern art. They also often host special film previews and music concerts. On some nights they also will have jazz performances others will have classical performances. Also at their movie theatre at the museum, they put together many great programs showcasing classic films. Many of these films are nice Tuesday matinees for only two dollars. On the topic of price, the museum does offer free visitation hours everyday after five as well as second Tuesday of each month (for the complete day). I believe parking is free after seven at night. They are just down the street from some other great Los Angeles landmarks, such as the Los Angeles Farmers' Market on 3rd Street and Fairfax. LACMA is located at Fairfax and Wilshire Blvd. It is also adjacent to the famous La Brea Tar Pits. Currently they are hosting the extremely popular King Tut exhibit. It will be gone soon, and other special galleries and/or exhibits will replace it. They are also exhibiting a wonderful collection of the works shared between Cezzane and Pisarro. The museum is quite large and offers a lot to view. Easily a trip to the museum can take up several hours. If you only have time or interest in one museum in Los Angeles, make it the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
