If you either live in the LA area, or you are visiting this summer, you should consider visiting LACMA. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has an incredible permanent collection, and they curate extraordinary exhibitions all year long. The new David Geffen Galleries are open, and there is just so much to see there. Not only are their BCAM and Resnick Pavilion Galleries open, but there is art on view outside as well. There is The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Rodin Sculpture Garden, Chris Burden's Urban Light, Ai Weiwei's Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads and Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass.
The LACMA Pavilion for Japanese Art is set to reopen at some point in 2026, and it is also a wonderful place to explore, but I do not know whether it will reopen this summer.
The David Geffen Galleries cantilever across Wilshire Blvd., and you can watch from the floor to ceiling windows as cars drive under the museum. Erewhon at LACMA is conveniently located near a lovely plaza, and they have two wonderful gift stores (one in Resnick Pavilion, and the new large store in the David Geffen Galleries).
During the summer months, LACMA often has live music, and it is truly a treat to experience.
Additionally, The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is next door to LACMA, the La Brea Tar Pits & Museum is next door as well, and the Peterson Automotive Museum is directly across the street.
