We always suggest that a first-time visitor needs to take a tour of Los Angeles to better understand our huge spread out city. During this tour, your tour company should present the dozens of museums in and around Los Angeles and Hollywood. These museums offer up something for everyone. A small sampling of museums from world-class art collections to the kitschy:
The Getty Museums–The Getty Center & The Getty Villa, MOCA, LACMA and their museums –Resnick Pavilion and The Broad Contemporary, The Huntington Library, Norton Simon Museum, Madame Tussauds Hollywood, Museum of Tolerance, Virginia Robinson Gardens, Natural History Museum, The La Brea Tar Pits and The George C. Page Museum, Guinness World Records, The Hollywood Museum, The Geffen Contemporary, The Hollywood Wax Museum, The Grammy Museum, The California Science Center and dozens of others.
Also, Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum in Hollywood, just underwent 3.5 million in renovations to become more family-friendly, with less on the gore side, and more attention on Hollywood.
