Great little museum! Lots of cool stuff and lots to see. It was really a great place to stop in. Free admission and a cute lite gift shop with stuff of a lot of culture.
I can’t say enough good things about this place. I’m so glad I stopped by, in the mean time, I’m disappointed that I only to see these exhibitions the last day of trip.
It is very emotional and powerful. It gives you a well all around introduction of the Mexican-American history, that explains lots of my questions during my visit.
I guess because this is a newer museum, it talks about indigenous people’s history before Spanish settler came and destroyed the local society. I appreciate this presentation. Didn’t really see other places around the area talk about this. It’s definitely important for people to know.
Powers to everyone fight for social justice!

It's a great place to find a class, workshop, or exhibition that share the narratives of so many Latino@s in LA. They provide community space and offer free or low-cost programs for LA residents to share and preserve our roots through arte and stories. This has also been the home of LatinaFest for 6 years and is a blast to attend in the right weather. The parking is a bummer but if you can find all-day parking there is so much to enjoy and discover. It's in the heart of LA across from Placita Olvera, near Chinatown, near Grand Station, and even close to Los Feliz Flea at Vintageland.
Fantastic cultural history museum. Never knew it was here and it had a wealth of history here. I'm glad I brought my son here to show him. I knew these events happened but the level of detail and personal stories helped reinforce it all. Boxing history. The way of life. Great.
It was an outside event called KCRW Summer Nights with cultura y artes ....bars, food trucks and a band playing Jungle Fire .
Beautiful location. Outdoor patio was perfect for the great concert 30 years of Chicano Rock music of Queztal.
I'm not a huge fan of the term Latinx. But the museum is very interesting and I'm glad there are places like this that support Mexican heritage in La. Plus it's free. Won't be here for more than an hour. The staff is friendly. Cute gift shop. They do events on weekends occasionally and have nice exhibition
This museum is incredible. Brilliant and bright art work, comprehensive history exhibit, and consciousness raising exhibit about the dangers migrants face with crossing the border because of American policies.
I wish there was more information about the Indigenous Peoples of LA but this is an extremely moving and engaging museum. The surrounding area is beautiful as well with lots to do and places to eat.

There is absolutely no better place in downtown Los Angeles to hold an event especially non-profit events like Latina Fest. I always have a great time. Thank you Belle Hernandez the organizer
Free! Lots of information about the latinos of LA. Beautiful artworks and documentation of immigrants across the borders.
A wonderful museum with cultural based exhibits. The front desk was welcoming and admission was free. The area around the museum is filled with culture and history. The exhibits themselves were also pretty interesting. I was only able to visit “LA Starts Here” and “Linda Vallejo” which we’re both on the first floor. There are more exhibits on the second floor, but didn’t have time to visit them. Both exhibits talk about the culture before Americans colonized California and also the discrimination and violent acts that they suffered against. The “Linda Vallejo” exhibit also had beautiful art works and statistics about the Latino population. Overall, the exhibits were interesting and was definitely worth the visit.
If you haven't been to this jewel of Mexican culture and art, you're missing a two story, professionally done space with changing exhibits. Historical and contemporary depictions of Mexican life in Los Angeles; depicted using brilliant photography, video and recreated street life spaces. It's free and open every day except Tuesday.
