Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It is a work of art on the outside of the LACMA.
It is really very interesting and gives great photos, by day or at night.
If you want, enjoy and enter the museum as well, but it is expensive and more aimed at modern art, which does not please everyone.

Cool exhibit. Free to wander through and take pictures. It only takes about 15 minutes to fully walk through. Kids stood on the lamp posts and were scolded by the security guard. Lesson learned: don't climb on the posts.

What a wonderful creative free outdoor experience. Came at 10 pm and saw several groups taking pictures so felt safe. One of the best things we’ve come across in LA and definitely a good picture spot that is unlike anything I’ve seen. We found street parking right across the street and parked for 20 mins!

The LA County Museum of Art has many great pieces, but perhaps its signature is the series of different style and size streetlights in front of the museum titled Urban Light. It is made for pictures, and we had a great time on our visit. It is a fun piece of art to simply walk through as every place offers a different perspective. In addition, the views are enhanced by the buildings around it.

It is worth a one time visit only. If your days and time are limited you can surely skip this one without feeling guilty that you are missing anything. It's nice, but that is about it. Not much to do, besides taking a few photos (probably all look the same) and read short info. Certainly don't even bother during the day, if you decide to give it a chance at least do it at night.

This was located right in front of the LACMA and even though it was outdoors masks were required back In May.
It was one way in and out which a security guard was quite strict on managing.
There were 202 street lamps which were acquired for this collection from lamps retired from use off the streets of LA. Only the grey paint was the unifying theme otherwise the lamps were different.
Will try to come back in the evening when the lamps are lit.

I'm an LA local and I never get tired of visiting this spot. If you are visiting LA, you have to stop by. It won't take more than 15 minutes to enjoy the view and snap some quick photos. Parking isn't too bad, but UBER would work best so you don't have to worry about it.
TIP: Try to visit during the day and come back at night. You will be able to capture very different photos based on the time of day that you go. Lights will be turned off during the day, but the day light will be perfect for photos. Lights get turned on at sun down and that lighting will give you an even better background to your photos.
HAVE FUN!

Its free, beautiful and different. Must visit when in LA. night is the best time for awesome photos, though you will rarely find an empty space. You can opt for this in the end of the whole day tour as it is open 24hrs. This way you save time, no need to plan and can just head off after your day's itinerary.

Super crowded!! I guess everyone wanted a pic with the Urban Lights too. We went after dinner so that we could get some night time pics with the Urban lights. Overly crowded. Pretty hard to get a pic without other people in your pics but after 364367 shots we managed to get a few Instagram worthy pics!

this installation is definitely a must-see in LA, specially in the evenings, as you get more of the experience.
