Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
Worth ItAn open-air, family-friendly art museum where kids can breathe between exhibits, anchored by the genuinely kinetic Metropolis II.
“Unlike cramped MoMA in Manhattan where you’re constantly stressing about kids bumping into million dollar frames, the open air layout here lets children breathe between exhibits.”
Best for
- Families wanting an open, unstressed museum layout
- Modern art fans
Why Milo likes it
- Spread-out indoor/outdoor layout is a real relief for families versus cramped museums elsewhere
- Metropolis II — a massive multi-level grid of miniature cars — genuinely locks kids’ attention, best viewed from the upper balcony
- The Urban Light street lamp installation outside is a worthwhile photo stop
- Strong modern collection (Warhol, Mondrian, Basquiat) contrasting the classical Getty nearby
Know before you go
- Urban Light draws heavy influencer crowds later in the day
