Bedste tid at besøge

Late afternoon on weekdays, when there are fewer people and the sun lights up the travertine walls in gold. At midday, the museum is often crowded, especially on weekends.

Budgettips

Admission is free, parking costs $20 (free after 5:00 PM and until 3:00 PM on Sundays). Metro bus 734 takes you directly there and saves you the parking fee.

Om

Hurtige fakta: Kunstcentrets bygninger er opført i travertin, som lyser varmt som honning i den nedgående sol. Fra centret, der ligger på en 130 hektar stor bakke, har man udsigt over hele Los Angeles og helt ud til Stillehavet.

Højdepunkter: Allermest speciel er dog haven: 134 sorter kaktus og sukkulenter, der danner en levende skulpturhave med udsigt over byen. Kunstværkerne er placeret sådan, at der fra hvert vindue åbner sig en ny udsigt, som om maleriet selv søger lyset.

Insidertips

Instead of the midday rush, come at 2:00 PM, when the quieter corners are still yours.
Sitting on the steps of Central Garden at sunset gives you a free concert of light and water play.
Bring a small picnic mat; the lawns on the northern terrace are ideal for a lunch break with a city view.
After visiting the museum, it is worth taking a peaceful 800-meter walk along the garden paths to find the hidden Flower Courtyard.
