MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House

My friends and I were visiting it last weekend, and we all paid for the tickets. But it was so strange! They don’t allow photos , and they told us we need to request for taking pictures by submitting special form online. No idea why! Is it racist? I never seen anyone else had the same experience. Thanks for your response. Just to clarify, I was there with friends and the photos were strictly for personal use—nothing commercial at all. However, no one confirmed this with us on site. We purchased four tickets, yet our experience was still disrupted, as we were repeatedly stopped from taking photos, which really took away from the visit. In addition, there were no signs of an extended photo shoot on our end. We did not have outfit changes, did not spend an excessive amount of time in any one area, and did not use tripods, lighting, or any other equipment. We were simply friends taking photos for each other. Given that, I’m honestly unclear why we were repeatedly asked to stop. We were only there for about 10 minutes total, including taking photos and reading the on-site introductions, yet staff approached us three times. It made us feel uncomfortable, so we ended up leaving after spending at most 15 minutes in the house.

i went here for my architecture class trip. if you wanna see beautiful Japanese architecture, I would go here. It was a house made for two families to live together. It almost feels like you’re in a different city when you walk through here. and there’s even temporary art installations inside the home.

Three stars because I enjoy walk through exhibits, architecture, and pretending what life would have been like. It's very quick and intriguing. Probably would have been more gorgeous during the spring blooms and if it had a pond. It's not thrilling, but serene.

I don’t know why ceiling is so low. Entire space is inspiring, a lot of details you can enjoy. Furniture is beautiful. Outdoor space is quite calming.

An architectural and cultural landmark. The Schindler house has no traditional facade. You can experience the house only by moving through space.

A wonderful example of early Los Angeles experimental architecture, R. M. Schindler's home and studio is a modern, minimal, and heartwarming specimen that is both historic and yet futuristic at once. It's small, but worth the trip for any true lovers of Schindler, Wright, etc. or modernist Organic Architecture. From the tilt slab concrete to the redwood roof surrounded by beautiful courtyards and gardens right in the heart of West Hollywood, this is a place to appreciate the thoughtfulness and creativity exhibited in the tiniest of details, as well as the overall composition. Helpful docents and a cute little book/gift shop.

This is Rudolf Schindler's house on King Street. It is closed due to an ongoing renovation. The roof seems to be redone, and it illustrates that how low the ceiling is inside the house. Interestingly, we ran into Sandra Ng and Peter Chan on the way out; they probably live just across the street from the King Road House.

Tickets are not available for September 21 or 24, I wonder why? We’ll only be there from 9/21-24, and both dates are not available?? 9/24 is a Jewish holiday but not National Holiday. Please explain, thank you.
