  • A wonderful surprise. We stayed over 3 hours because there was so much to see: weapons, clothing, short films, art. The boundaries were pushed a bit - Hawaiian clothing - but everything was put into.....  more

  • A fantastic museum and well worth visiting. I came for their Dress Codes exhibition but ended up spending half the day there also exploring the other galleries which I hadn’t planned. Not only did the artwork draw me in but the exhibition design and interpretive text is eye-catching and well-designed. I look forward to coming back in the future and will def be recommending this to other museum goers when they’re in the area.
  • Can't believe that people don't usually visit this place so fun and I learned a lot about what Californians are where we come from and potentially even where we're going. It talks about the LA River and its history as well as people that live here thousands of years ago and the Spanish taking over as well as did you know the family story with the sepulveda boulevard? There's tons to know and a lot of cool guns with history. Come time-travel land make it a nice picnic Day old Western style.
