Hammer Museum

Museums rock! Especially one filled with contemporary thought provoking and interactive art. A hidden gem in Los Angeles. Make art not war.

The art is always so different but usually there is some kind of political and or conceptual art to see. I love that it is so diverse. The entrance is free and the parking is below, pretty cheap. There is a place to eat and the bathrooms are clean.

The museum's permanent collection is small but breathtaking, Van Gogh, Degas, Sargent, Daumier and many more...stunning. The contemporary collection is provoking too. We stopped at the new restaurant , looked at the menu but was more than we wanted to spend at a museum. Plenty of lower price options in the neighborhood. Great bookstore/ gift shop interesting selection. Over all a great place,free admission,$7 parking but they really need a simple kiosk selling coffee and cookies.

Free admission to enjoy priceless pieces of are is what Hammer offers.

Modern to the classics are covered. Small groups of collections are scattered across two primary floors of displays. Rembrandt to Marvel are all here for you to enjoy.

The classics is a small area while most of the collections are modern. Two hours is plenty of time to see it all. Including the newest piece from UCLA visuals.

We will go back again soon. Bring the family and there is a new nice restaurant on the patio floor. Make it a date.

I enjoyed my visit here in this art-eccentric themed museum. There are also a lot of restaurants to choose from. There are a lot of things to see in this museum. I will definitely visit again.
