If you only have one day for museums in Los Angeles, then head over to Museum Row on the Miracle Mile. The L.A. County Museum of Art is the cornerstone of Museum Row, with seven buildings of indoor collections, plus free outdoor exhibits. There are more museums within walking distance, such as Petersen’s Auto Museum and the La Brea Tar Pits.
To get there, drive to Wilshire Blvd and Fairfax Avenue and park in any off-street parking lot on Wilshire Boulevard.
