Marciano Art Foundation

“Free entry and free parking - reservations are required, which we didn’t know, but our parking attendant was extremely kind and helpful and helped us navigate to get a time slot! The museum is 4 stories (middle was under construction when we went), and there were many cool exhibits to walk through, look at, and read about. There is also a library on the first floor of art and photography books to browse. Definitely would love to come back in the future when some of the exhibits change to see what new is being offered!”

“We booked tickets (free, and includes parking in their gated lot in back) for a Saturday afternoon visit. MAF is a small museum, making it feel as though you are visiting your uber-wealthy friend’s art collection. It was not crowded by any means, the artwork is thought provoking, staff courteous, and you could do much worse in LA on a weekend. Afterwards, we took a short drive to Koreatown and had KBBQ.”

“This place is free with a reservation for entry. In a jewel of a building (designed by Millard Sheets?) with a (permanent?) exhibit of Masonic accoutrements doscovered during renovation. Other exhibits were murals and a giant, triple screen slide show. There's an actual library of art books with plenty of seating for reading. I didn't see a gift shop, though.”

“The Sister Mary Corita exhibits (her photography of LA in the 60s/70s and videos of her screen-printing) were amazing. Go see it! Also check out the room with the history of the Masonic temple. The building is stunning. And there’s a gorgeous balcony with a view of the leafy neighborhood. You must reserve tickets in advance but it’s very easy to do.”
