I love it when the City can celebrate itself. This Sunday, October 1st, members of the Museum Marketing Roundtable will be hosting their 2nd Annual Museum Day.Of the 20 participating museums, only 12 are in the City of LA, and 3 of the other 8 are in Orange County. More interesting, though, is the promotion of already free museums. See, parking isn't waived; it still applies. So, the controversial Southwest Museum, which as of July has only been open on weekends, now has free admission to see its limited exhibits. This would be a good day NOT to go there, or the other free museums like the Getty.
But, go find a new one you've never been to. MOCA would be good if you don't get there that often, or try the Japanese American National Museum where they are currently showing a mind-expanding Hapa exhibit.
Maybe next year the group will include the local museums that don't already have a regional presence like the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Palms or the American Museum of Straw Art in Long Beach?

I love museums.
City Nerd, I need some LA related help. There is a rather larger intersection with reasonable pedestrian traffic, but the walk signs do not automatically come on (the button must be pressed for them to change). What department can I contact to request that these walk sigsn go on for every red light (it is really dangerous when people who don't press the button try to run across)? Thanks

The Department of Transportation would be the agency to talk to. If you email me (lacitynerd@gmail.com) with the location, I can more specifically assist.
glad to see you big-upping the museum of jurassic technology -- it's lots of fun (as is its next-door neighbor, the center for land use interpretation). they both list their address as culver city, not palms -- is this correct?
Actually, they are in Los Angeles, Palms, not Culver City.
