When I go to travel to a new place, a day at the museums is a must for me. I gain a better understanding of the city. Museums make me feel good. Museums make me smarter, but above all – they inspire me. I can spend hours walking through a maze of galleries and finding the one piece of art to which I connect emotionally. Usually, this piece of art will be stuck in my memory for a long time. It will grow in me by giving every day a new understanding, a new meaning. Here are two of the best museums in Los Angeles, in which every one each of you would be able to find your inspiration.
