This museum run by the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) is an important landmark in Little Tokyo. It is one of the three MOCA museums in the city. The spacious establishment has a gallery where exhibitions of renowned artists are hosted and a reading room stocking books. Opened in 1963, it offers more than 40, 000 square feet of exhibition space.

Japan's top architect, Arata Isozaki, built the Museum of Contemporary Art, or MOCA as it is called by locals, in 1986. The series of bright galleries with exposed vaults display some of this century's finest artwork. Works by Mark Rothco, Franz Kline, Claes Oldenburg and more are displayed year-round. In addition to the curators, artists and critics frequently give guided tours. Inside the museum is a great restaurant called Patinette serving great Mediterranean cuisine.

Located in downtown L.A., The Broad is a modern building with an extensive post-war and contemporary art collection. Local billionaires and benefactors Eli and Edythe Broad have provided the collections as well as allowed admission to be gratis in perpetuity. In addition to the Broad Family's donations, some of the art has been sourced from talented artists such as Joseph Beuys, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Richard Artschwager. A sprawling art house covering an expanse of around 120000 square feet (11148 square meters), it is the best place to lose oneself for hours. Also, while entry to the museum is free of charge, there is a small fee for self-guided tours and some rotating exhibits.

Art collector and philanthropist Frederick Weisman opened his former private residence and collection to the general public in 1991. There is no admission charge to visit this gallery, since Weisman believed that art contributes to the public good. The residence is built in the Mediterranean Revival style, and you'll be able to see a range of art, from European modernist pieces to abstract expressionist works. Magritte, Rauschenberg, Rothko, and Picasso are featured in the collection. See contemporary sculptures on the outside lawn. Tours are held five days a week and must be pre-arranged.
