"An artist-founded institution established in 1979 that comprises two distinct locations — the main building on Grand Avenue and The Geffen Contemporary in Little Tokyo — and houses a collection of almost 8,000 works. Lerman Yoes says, “It’s the only artist-founded museum in L.A., which is rad,” and praises its community-driven programming and exhibitions; general admission is free, and The Geffen location has recently hosted some of the city’s more raunchy, fun parties." - Travel + Leisure Editors
