Norton Simon Museum. Skirball Cultural Center. Craft Contemporary. Autry Museum of the American West. Many of L.A.’s best cultural institutions can be experienced for free.
It doesn’t have to cost a ton of money to experience the best of L.A.’s cultural institutions. In fact, it doesn’t have to cost anything at all.observed on March 23, many of the city’s museums and botanic gardens offer regular free days throughout the month. Here are 11 to visit.Within Griffith Park, one specific location deserves to be highlighted: the Autry Museum of the American West, which turned 35 years old this year. Located inside the park across the street from the L.A.
Admission to the museum is $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and members of the military. Students, teachers and children under 17 enter free with valid I.D. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the beautiful edifice of pale stone, stainless steel and glass houses one of the world’s largest collections of Jewish ceremonial art, ritual objects and material culture including nearly 25,000 pieces, both ancient and contemporary.
The museum is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays and costs $20 for adults and $15 for seniors. Members, students and kids under 18 enter free.Think of Descanso Gardens as part chameleon, part sanctuary. Walking through its towering oak woodlands and ancient forest is kind of a religious experience — silent, awe-inspiring and very intimate.
The museum safeguards more than 35 million specimens and artifacts and offers three floors of permanent exhibits. One of its signature exhibits are the dueling dinosaurs at its Grand Foyer entrance. Two complete skeletons of a Tyrannosaurus rex and a Triceratops are locked in battle there. In front of the museum, check out the still-bubbling Lake Pit, where you’ll see an installation that depicts a baby mammothin the tar. Then, once you’re thoroughly bummed out, take a break from the tar on the lush premises — there’s plenty of grass and space for picnics and general frolicking.
