As far as the above, LACMA is currently a shell of its former self having recently undergone much demolition at the start of a multi-year refurb. I let my membership go, so I am not at all sure of what they’re charging these days, but I would not pay full price to visit the three buildings currently available. Right next door is the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum…sister visited this weekend and had rave reviews. Probably a better use of your time if you are looking for more to do while visiting the Tar Pits (all three of these museums reside on one giant city block).
This I would agree with. When it’s running on all cylinders, LACMA is a fantastic art museum. While it’s collection may be diverse, it does share many flavors with other similar institutions (The National Art Gallery, The Metropolitan, the Art Institute, etc.). The Academy Museum is a rare treat and captures an industry and culture that is unique to Los Angeles.
