The 5 Best History Museums in Central L.A, California (CA)
Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

Amazing little museum where kids can interact with things and there are little treasures from the western American world, like some furniture and an old stagecoach. It's free. For me it was a hidden gem in the middle of LA.
