Stunning architecture, great views, and a wonderful collection. The highlight of my holiday in Los Angeles.

This place is quite a testament to the generally culturally confused kitsch of Los Angeles. It was built by Graumann in the 1920s after the success of his Egyptian theatre. In fairness to him it is fairly well engineered and looks almost authentic. Definitely worth a visit for sheer wierdness. Also be sure to check out the footprints of the stars outside!

My husband and I really enjoyed our visit here. The architecture and the setting of the place was lovely, the art inside was great. Would definitely recommend also taking the funicular to the top of the Santa Monica Mountains as the view is great!
