"Art & Gardens of L.A." Los Angeles by annk
Los Angeles Travel Guide: 4,343 reviews and 8,598 photos
Many of those that visit or picture L.A. think of smog, congested freeways, beaches, Hollywood, muscle men/women of Venice Beach, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Beverly Hills & Rodeo Drive, the typical touristy stuff. But in addition to the major tourist attractions there are some wonderful art museums and gardens not to be missed!
I am using Los Angeles as my base for this page, although many of the museums/gardens are outside the city but within the boundaries of Los Angeles County. I decided to combine art & gardens because many go hand in hand as you will see.
- Pros:ideal climate, the desert, mountains, beaches
- Cons:too many people, traffic, congestion, pollution, crime
- In a nutshell:Although I live in a suburban city, I hope to move away from here in a few years

Youve given L.A. a whole new look very nice photos :)
I see that you cautiously avoided all that is NOT beautiful about L.A. Interesting museums and gardens, though.
Great LA tips. It's amazing how much range you get when you talk about LA.
Beautiful gardens. I love tulips. Check my Ottawa page in a few months for pictures of the Ottawa Tulip festival!
Great info and travelogues :)
