WESTERN MUSEUM OF FLIGHT REVIEWS

Small gem of a museum Went there on my way to LAX to see the YF-23 PAV2 prototype...and a lot of other stuff :) The museum is very compact and packed with great exhibits in pristine condition. Got a personal tour courtesy of Ron, who was very knowledgeable and great at storytelling...and he's already 86 years old! Keep up the good work guys, also just discovered your youtube channel.

I went to see the YF23 pav2, stayed for longer so I can talk with the docents more. Small museum with a lot of cool and unique artefacts/ pictures, with more that would be put up in the future. Rare to see F5s at museums and you get to sit in the cockpit of one in great condition. Chuck and Mark were very fun to talk to, and I wish the staff a wonderful Christmas season.

Took my son here on the weekend, small museum with good collection.

TORRANCE ART MUSEUM REVIEWS

This is an exceptional regional LA art Museum with a German Director/curator who hosts high-quality contemporary art ranging from installations to sculpture to video from California to accross the globe. I live in NZ where we have many high quality regional small to mid-sized high-quality publicly funded contemporary art galleries/art museums but they are quite rare in the USA. (Public funding in the USA is a fraction of what exists in most other developed nations.) It's worth the trip from the more central LA areas.

Although it is quite a small museum with a small selection of exhibitions, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this place. It was my first time, and the worker was so incredibly inviting, sweet, knowledgeable, and passionate about each art exhibition. After finishing viewing each art piece, she was so excited to show us the Japanese garden in the back. I spent maybe 30-40 minutes max here but it was a very fun activity.

Awesome museum for the price. It’s only two rooms and free parking. Dude at the front lost his sense of reality in the vr. I could see it in his eyes.

THE CHEN ART GALLERY REVIEWS

The Chen Art Gallery is incredible! The best art tour I've ever been on! I learned so much! Amazing art and a GREAT tour-guide! -- Plenty of free street parking right in front of the gallery.

I recently took a small group of 7th grade art students to this very impressive gallery, and even though the tour was an hour and a half, the students were very interested and had lots of questions! The docents and employees are incredibly nice and accommodating. They accommodated my group last minute when other plans fell through, and I'm so grateful because this turned out to be much better! What an incredible collection of artifacts, the largest collection outside of Asia, apparently, with many artifacts dating back thousands of years. Definitely recommend!.

Absolutely AMAZING collection of Chinese artifacts, furniture, jade, porcelain, etc. This exhibit is FREE. Dr. Chen keeps adding to his collection, now adding more European items. There is even a gallery for 50+ Picasso originals! The tour is about 1.5-2 hours. No places to sit or to take a bathroom break, just to let you know.
