1.The Broad

The Broad has been flooding social media feeds everywhere with photos of it’s modern architecture and contemporary art displays. A must-see is the infinity mirror room. For a slideshow of artworks you can expect to see click here.

3.The Getty Center

Enjoy the various galleries and gardens that The Getty Center has to offer. It’s the perfect location for a picnic at the gardens with friends or family. You can even enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine while overlooking the city.

1200 Getty Center Dr,

Los Angeles, CA 90049

4.The Getty Villa

If you are a huge fan of European art and sculptures like me then you’ll love The Getty Villa. It’s location along the Pacific Coast Highway is also a prime destination to enjoy the beach after your intake of art.

17985 Pacific Coast Hwy,

Pacific Palisades, CA 90272

5.The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles

If you’re looking for something to do in between classes, the MOCA is smaller in comparison to The Getty and much closer. Explore the contemporary modern art with friends through a guided tour.

250 S Grand Ave,

Los Angeles, CA 90012

6.Natural History Museum

One of my favorite exhibits is the Dinosaur Hall! Not only can you get a close look into Triceratops eye but you can also excavate fossils. If you can’t make it to the free museum date, be sure to check out their “First Friday’s” program, where the lights are dimmed and the exhibit halls become a music venue for musicians and DJ’s.

900 Exposition Blvd,

Los Angeles, CA 90007
