The city-run Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery sits in Los Angeles, CA, within Barnsdall Art Park, on the same grounds as Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House.

It is free to visit and has parking, restrooms and wheelchair access, which makes it an easy add-on for travelers already coming to see the Wright house.

What is Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery?

This is a public art gallery carrying the city's name, with a clear regional focus: its exhibitions center on artists from Southern California rather than on international blockbusters. It was first established in 1954.

The gallery shares Barnsdall Art Park with Hollyhock House, so one visit naturally leads to the other. For travelers at the end of Route 66, it is a chance to see what artists in the region at the end of the road are making.

Visiting Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery: tips

Allow 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the current show. Entry is free, and restrooms, wheelchair access and parking are available on site; it is also a good stop with children.
