travel guide---Los Angeles

Los Angeles is the most populous city in the U.S. state of California and the second-most populous in the United States, after New York City.  Los Angeles is also the seat of Los Angeles County, the most populated and one of the most ethnically diverse counties in the United States.

Los Angeles has some of the country's best museums.  The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the Getty Museums (Two locations: the Getty Center in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles and the Getty Villa in the adjacent city of Malibu) are unique in their own ways.

Museum of Tolerance, the world-renowned museum delves into the dark world of racism and prejudice while highlighting the Holocaust as the most extreme example of man's inhumanity to man. Interactive exhibits, two theaters, a research floor and gallery for special exhibitions within the Simon Wisenthal Center are just part of the experience and soul you will find here. Tours are self-guided and typically last two and a half hours. Some exhibits are recommended for those 12 years and above.
