The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Downtown Los Angeles is a busy metropolis of towering buildings, bustling streets, and industrial warehouses. There is a distinct multiplicity of cultures here with a growing influx of business professionals and hipsters. Many call the evolution of Downtown over recent years gentrification. New lofts, bars, hotels and restaurants are popping up regularly. Downtown is home to some of the very best restaurants in the city leading the LA foodie scene, plus it is the location of cultural and sports venues including the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Staples Center, and the Coliseum at the University of Southern California.

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.

Visited the A+D Museum for their Museum of Failure exhibit this weekend. It was a bit crowded and not in the best part of town and it was difficult to find parking. The museum also took a long time to enter and there were people there to help but they weren't identified so it was a bit confusing. The exhibit itself was fine and well displayed. There was a lot of interesting material but felt that the anti-Trump material conflicted with a lot of the other messaging in the material and wasn't warranted. The museum charged $15 per person and I don't think that the insight into the exhibit warranted that charge.

This wasn't a museum - it was really just a gallery of designers work. In one room. The adjoining gift shop had more interesting unique items than browsing print ads and books by graphic designers. There was nothing museum or educational. Maybe a $3 charge would have been ok but $7 gives you the impression you are actually going to see something worthwhile. There was absolutely nothing architectural on display either. Parking is free - that is the only positive comment I can make. Location listed here is incorrect it is now at 900 E 4th Street in the Arts District of downtown LA

Single story only about 15 works on display and none pertained to architecture much less design. More of a modern museum of art. Don't waste time or money here
