    So much high quality free museums in LA. I have never been to the Getty center, but it looks more roman than rome. Great video in finding and showing us our culture in Los Angeles.

    i'm biased cause i work for the library but i second what another commenter said about Central Library in downtown. It might even count for being another free museum, since we have a number of galleries with different rotating exhibits every few months. My favourite (no longer available, sadly) was about unique hyperspecific social clubs around LA: The Breakfast Club, Cloudwatcher's Club, Pigeon Rollers, among others... it really showed me how many unique communities exist in the city.
    What you said at the end about doing the things you want to do before it's too late really touched me, because having worked at various library branches in LA, I had this goal in mind of wanting to visit all 72 of them... now they are 71, because sadly Pacific Palisades branch was completely destroyed, before I ever had the chance to visit it. We have a fundraiser to rebuild it, if you check out the top banner on the Library Foundation website, but it will still take a long time to get there, and the beautiful old building with its painted murals and collection of books is gone. I wish I had seen it.

    Heres a few spots to recommend. The dtla central library. Its an amazing 7 level bldg with amazing architecture inside and out. Plus, a giftshop inside. The last bookstore where on 2nd level there are tiny art galleries. All free. All metro accessible. Nobody walks in LA. Except the cool.

      yes! plus the central library always has the museum with rotating exhibits on the second floor. I would also wanna add griffith observatory and the holocaust museum at the pan pacific park

I haven't been to the Villa and many of the museums on this list, whereas others like the Fowler and Hammer sent me on trips down memory lane. Thanks for this video.

    you should check out the autry museum in griffith park! it’s right across from the zoo. they have free afternoons tues/wed. in my opinion it’s worth paying admission fee though. most of their exhibits are a native perspective of american western history. everyone should go!

    Hey Brian do you know Michael Martello another LA/CA youtuber who's also originally from NY area?
    You guys should do a collab. First assignment "search for Tom Explores Los Angeles".
    Tom is the original(in my book) LA documentarian/vlogger, since 2011, but hasn't done anything since 2021). He's mia.
    It's an assignment only you two ex-New Yoikers can do.
