Los Angeles is home to many amazing museums and galleries, but exploring them doesn’t come cheap. Luckily, there are many cultural institutions in this metropolis that you can explore without spending a fortune, and we’re bringing you three you can visit free of charge.
The Getty
The Getty is one of LA’s most iconic cultural institutions, so it’s a pleasant surprise to learn you can explore it for free. It’s housed in one of the city’s most imposing modern buildings, and its impressive collection includes everything from European paintings and drawings to modern sculptures and decorative arts. Even though admission is free, a timed-entry reservation is required so it’s best to book your visit in advance.
The Broad
The Broad is another beloved LA landmark that surprisingly offers free admission. General admission includes its permanent collection, including the picture-perfect Infinity Mirror Room, but it’s important to secure your free ticket in time because they won’t always be available on the spot.
Hammer Museum
When Hammer Museum first opened its doors in 1990, it was meant to house the personal art collection of its founder Armand Hammer. Its influence and art collection grew in the years to come, and all its exhibitions showcasing modern art, photography, and design are now open to the public, free of charge.
