Art museum with vast collections & iconic outdoor sculptures
"When the mood skews cultural, a visit delivers an art‑world hit between meals and pool time." - Vogue
"The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is the largest art museum in the western United States, with a vast collection that includes Picassos, Migrittes, Hockneys, and more. It also boasts two impressive outdoor installations with Chris Burden’s Urban Light and Michael Heizer’s “Levitated Mass.” —Lilah Ramzi"
"Described as an 'encyclopedic museum,' LACMA's multi-building collection covers Islamic, Korean, Japanese, Greek, Mexican, contemporary art, jewelry, fashion, and design; despite a long, controversial $835 million construction project (Peter Zumthor's Geffen Galleries spanning Wilshire set to open in 2026), the museum still boasts world-class works and popular outdoor selfie spots like Chris Burden's Urban Light and Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass, with a Jeff Koons topiary planned for late 2025." - Maxwell Williams
"Lerman Yoes, who was its first social media manager, calls it “this museum is the quintessential Los Angeles museum.” Located along the stretch of Wilshire Boulevard known as Museum Row, the attraction features both a permanent collection and traveling exhibitions and draws many visitors to Chris Burden's public installation, "Urban Light," which includes more than 200 vintage street lamps in neat rows. Construction continues on a Peter Zumthor–designed expansion dubbed the David Geffen Galleries, expected to open in 2026." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"I never had the chance to go and I was just invited to their Art + Film Gala and it was just great." - Edward Barsamian
