"Described by Lerman Yoes as “an artist’s art museum, with a keen eye for emerging art and exceptional cultural programming,” the museum is affiliated with a nearby university campus, follows a “free for good” admission policy, and is noted for showcasing emerging contemporary L.A. artists and offering exciting cultural programming." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Hosting René Redzepi’s 11-year-old MAD non-profit on Monday, July 18, the Hammer Museum will stage a free one-off event in partnership with Audi featuring keynote speaker Douglas McMaster of Silo London and an appearance by Magnus Nilsson to discuss the future of restaurants, with a reception to follow." - Farley Elliott

"There’s always something excellent on display at this UCLA museum—it’s also nicely manageable, making it the perfect way to spend a few idle hours. The adjacent museum store is one of the best in the city: The bookstore is gigantic, and they have some great gifts from L.A.-based designers, but they win the biggest points for their kids room in the back, where you’ll find art and design-specific tomes for little ones, along with a handful of well-conceived toys."
