  • Central Library

    LA’s main library consists of the original 1926 building, an exotic Beaux-Arts design by Bertram Goodhue, and an art-filled atrium added in 1993.

  • As artists move into studios here, hip galleries, shops, and restaurants have opened.

  • This 56-block district is the heart of LA’s clothing industry (the largest in the nation) and heaven on earth for bargain hunters (see Santee Alley).

  • This 1913 cut-flower market, the largest in the country, has it all from roses to orchids.

  • Housed in a Buddhist temple, this museum chronicles the history of Japanese Americans.

  • Precious gems, watches, and all kinds of fine jewelry are sold in shops in what has long been the center of Los Angeles’s jewelry industry.

  • This warehouse-sized former police garage hosts traveling shows and special exhibits (see Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)).

  • The world’s only permanent museum of its kind, MONA attracts visitors to its changing exhibitions of electric and neon art.

  • Pershing Square

    The city’s oldest public park, redesigned in the early 1990s, it is enlivened with public art and flanked by numerous historic buildings, most notably the grand Biltmore.

  • This little museum relives the days of the Wild West and houses an original stagecoach and a gold nugget from the Gold Rush.
