Came here for the first time yesterday and had an absolute blast with my girlfriend! The staff were very attentive, friendly, and most importantly, HELPFUL. Wait time to get in took us about 2 hours (which was kind of painful), but it is all worth it when you get inside as you get almost all the time in the world with each piece (excluding the Upside Down House). If youve never been here before, I highly recommend this place if 1) you are trying to get great pictures for the feed and 2) for a mind-boggling time with the art presented!

Great artistic exhibits hosted in the center of Little Tokyo. I spontaneously stumbled upon an exhibit hosted here after lunch in Little Tokyo. The staff told me that the tickets were free for the day. We were very lucky to see the beautiful creations of art inside. The building exterior also offers a great backdrop for creative photo shoots.

This museum is great. I visited a Saturday and the entrance was free. I enjoyed a free tour on one of the exhibitions that was conducted by an art professor for free.Its a minimalistic but warm museum. Its the most relaxed museum I have visited. I felt at home... The employees are very nice and welcoming.

Temporary Contemporary as it was known before (I imagine) Geffen gave money. As with modern art some seems kooky. They have some nice pieces and some head scratchers.

Spacious. Interesting. Initiative and approachable staff. Help with question of the art pieces. An enjoyable visit.

I visited the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA with the ticket that I purchased at the MOCA, very appreciated. It has a lot of art to see, I loved the long drawing, I took a video of it. Wonderful.

Nice place. Im looking forward to when the construction is done. The book fair here is pretty fun, especially for the kiddos.

Great visit. Some really cool works up right now. Fell in love with some paintings and prints below. A great visit but kind of in the middle of nowhere.

Rear rotating exhibits here . Now that I’m a member will definitely be visiting all three locations.

It is always fascinating to learn new things and remember old experiences. The place is an oasis of learning and space of solace in the middle of a very busy but beautiful city of Angels...

This museum was really nice, very simplistic so that you can focus on the work from the different artists. I liked that there were a bunch of people who worked for the museum who were there to help you if you had questions or to show you interesting aspects of the art work as well as talking about it with you in depth.

Definitely not what I was expecting. Spent almost three hours there. Just riveting exhibits and Ill definitely go back. Know the art is not everyones taste but I dug it

Wonderful museum. The artists represented were inspiring. The staff was available to answer questions whenever information was needed. The museums flow and curation has a beautiful movement, each exhibit seems to be presented in the most appropriate space. Thankful for the powerful relevance of the artists work. Great outdoor area to enjoy. Only suggestion would be that the entrance was hard to find from the sidewalk. Maybe even using better signage to direct pedestrians around to enter through the parking lot might help. First time visiting during their free weekend event. Excited to make a return visit!

Beautiful exhibits, its fascinating to see the art blended into such a architecture. The building is so old and well build. Like a old warehouse, weather proof, like military bunker.

I really enjoy this place. Staff is very knowledgeable, mostly practicing artists who are quite willing to talk about what they do.

They could do a lot more with this space. Barbara Kruger, still, again, over and over. I think a lot more interesting artists have “emerged” that could use the opportunity. But ehi, ‘museums’ always a few steps behind. Still with Warhol, Rauschenberg and Rothko. Enough!

Great space and it has a non pretentious atmosphere!

I liked the first building more from moca. Didnt really see anything here I found particularly noteworthy

Unusual materials and points of view constitute these works of art - a must see for any discerning eye

A great space to explore and open your senses with distinct exhibitions. Well done showcase art in a unique industrial setting. Worth the trip with the main MOCA near by.

Its ok. I guess I would say just get a memberships. Its hit and miss for me.

One of the best places to see great art. Always interesting.

Fabulous date place, very calm and surreal, and Geffen Contemporary at MOCA doesnt disappoint. Phenomenal exhibits and contemporary art that will blow you away. I highly recommend this museum, absolutely stunning.

The Geffen has some interesting installations and artwork. Its part of the MOCA, so I was happy to see these two museums in a day for $15 usd (includes both). I think thats very reasonable for the amount of work you get to see. Its also nice to walk across town through Little Tokyo to get the other museum.The Moca was a little less interesting. There was not as much to see. However, its still worth the trip.

There is always something amazing and so different from the traditional museum.

Situated on the corner big parking lot across street from the Veterans Hospital Dart work outside is amazing nice place to go

Its a great place to know the art that its been creating in this moment. Its has a interesant propousal..

Free free free... Art is for everyone! Go enjoy some free art.

The most actual international artist show their work here

Lovely collection on display. I enjoyed my visit and the collections and pieces on display. At the time I went, many of the works on display were political in nature. Im good with political but at some point it just becomes too much and begins to cross the line into creative propaganda.

A really great modern art museum, and entry is free.

Paid $8 admission with a Student ID. On a rainy Wednesday afternoon the museum was very quiet and peaceful with few visitors. Two artists were featured in the exhibits I saw. This I appreciated, as it gives one a fuller picture of the artists style, interests, and thoughts. Also, for those who use public transportation, its easily accessible via the metro gold line.

Great stuff. Always easy to get to off Gold Line. And TAP card gets you 2-for-1 Admission.

Pretty pricey but nice place. Students are 8 dollars and young children are free.

Very nice exhibition of contemporary art. 15 dollars for both MOCA locations well spent!

To tell you the true thats just a short cut that I take on my way to the exchange, maybe someday Ill stop and take a look around...

Pretty cool but i usually wait until they host particularly interesting exhibits

Its a bit small. The main branch of MOCA has more to see. However, its nice to walk around that neiborhood. Little Tokyo is literally across the street.

Great exhibition space in Little Tokyo. The galleries are larger in scale than the downtown location of MOCA, allowing for more diversity in the exhibitions. No permanent collection at the Geffen, so check the website to see whats on view. Exhibitions vary in quality and scope. Note that a ticket bought at the Geffen will also get you into the downtown branch the same day, and vice versa.

Nice contemporary art museum. You also get admission to the Geffen and also the MOCA on Grand with the same ticket.

A great place to stop and recharge yourself. Art Is Life

Great space, a lot of staff to help, art was good, not great.

Could have a nicer price, but good stuff!

I had a good time I seen a lot of nice art work and the people that work their were nice to

The art is really cool and Im glad I went, but for a building that size, the amount of art felt little. They could have definitely used the space better to add more. I finished the entire wall around and observed every image in about 20 minutes.. and yes I take the time to observe images. I dont just scroll through like an Instagram post.

Awesome place. A great warehouse/ campus for temp exhibits. Saw Electric Earth, very friendly service and good presentation.

Always worth the trip.

Very interesting! If you buy a ticket to the MOCA dtla, it also gets you into this MOCA as well. It was a unique experience. Its very dark so wear flat shoes. The employees have flash lights for areas with steps but you should still walk slow. The exhibit itself was cool too! Definitely a must see!

A good place to spend half a day in new York city.

For a museum that has a whole wall with the inscription no more boring art, I feel you are falling short. A room with only a row of several suitcases. Another with a sawed-off tree that is bolted back together and supported with metal bracket, and yet another with a derelict aluminum wreck of a tracker in another room, leaves me wondering about no more boring art. Please!

Great museum. Amazing art

Weird. I liked the cast pieces.

Great experience. Interactive art

We had an awesome time at MOCA. Especially the one down the hill by Little Tokyo.

Cool contemporary art, not much to see....

It’s just quilts, go to JoAnn fabrics instead. #lackluster

Interesting museum with modern art.

Very kind, it’s a good place for art students.

This will be difficult to review, if you like this type of art then go for it but you were wandering around like me and accidentally walked into this museum youll probably be confused on how this industrial looking building is being used in the most bare bone sense to pass off as a museum. You will leave contemplating on what you saw is art but perhaps that is a victory for the museum.

Interesting exhibits currently displaying two womens artistic works. Good location next to JANM, near Little Tokyo.

Great views of modern art

Nice place...if you go to MOCA your ticket gets you in here too...can do 2 for one...some fun paintings here!

Intense. They pull no punches.

Nice enjoyable date for anyone who is open minded and has a taste for art, or just heavily intoxicated

It was great to be there at this time of the year because it is free the weekends until March 25th. Otherwise tickets are $15 each.

It is a nice space, although smaller than I initially imagined, which is not always a bad thing. I found the space light, airy and manageable. There is a huge main room with a smaller offshoot room and a separate section if you cross the reception area. The staff are helpful and friendly and the collections interesting and varied.Take time to sit outside and enjoy the sculpture and space, as well as visit the shop which is full of visual delights and easy to part with cash there.

Not quite as good as the main MOCA Museum, this is still a nice stop on an art tour. Only a mile away from the main museum, and The Broad, it is free on weekends!

Sunday Adventure. Explore, Relax, Enjoy.

Very nice Museum and educational for all ages.

Pretty awesome place to take a date.

I love this museum, when i finish the tour i felt something special in my mind as a new think.

Free entrance, good stuff but not much. Its an extra if you already went to the original MoCA

Nice movie theatre there for outfest event

Unique exhibit of non traditional landscapes in freezers. Great museum space and gift shop. Great staff.

Contemporary art museum at its finest. Great galleries and exhibits. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Admission price is affordable. I highly recommend you visit Geffen.

Really nice paintings and sculptures

Good to spent time here good price

Museum of Contemporary Art is awesome! Me and my husband stopped by in this museum and we really had fun watching their art collections they are really interesting and impressive. Actually that was our first time to visit the museum but we never regret it because it was never boring. The only problem is the parking area but once you get to the inside of the museum you will forget the parking hassle.

The museum is not big. I have liked more the Laura Owens exposition than the Zoe Leonards.

Good way to spend an hour. Love that it was free.

The idea of The Geffen sounded a lot better than it actually turned out to be with the described converted historic warehouse space. From the moment we entered the difficult to figure out entrance to be ignored by the staff who acted inconvenienced that we were trying to pay admission, we knew that we were not going to enjoy this museum. While some of the artwork was interesting and thought provoking, most tried too hard to be different and came across as either extremely sadistic or as boring as a library bookshelf. Next time I venture near Little Tokyo, the Geffen at MOCA wont be on my agenda.

For those who like contemporary art, it is a nice place to chill for a little, especially on Thursday when after 5pm it is free but donations are welcome. I personally am not a huge fan of contemporary art, as I went there for a Japanese tea tasting, but In would recommend it to those who enjoy a contemporary art museum.

I like to come during my lunch break. They always have great exhibits.

We attended the exhibition of Adrián Villar Rojas: The Theater of Disappearance and had the chance to jump into a free guided tour. This former police car warehouse is huge and perfect for this kind of monumental installations. For this particular event, visitors had to walk in the darkness and explore the artworks with their phone lights, super exciting!

Very interesting art

Rare warehouse art space + museum quality exhibitions. Always interesting, always inspiring.

It is a great place to walk around! It was smaller than I expected and for me 2 hours are very plentiful for the whole visit. It is truly modern arts and hard to comprehend sometimes but it will take u to another world of wonders and unrealness. Very good getaway.

I came here to see the Douglas Atkins exhibit.The exhibit space is set in a revamped warehouse located in Little Tokyo.There was an array of mediums such as film, sculptures and photography all from one artist.Im definitely looking forward to exploring the other MOCA locations.

Always enjoy visiting the Geffen Contemporary. Visit the 442nd War Memorial that is just steps away. There is a free shuttle that goes to the DTLA MOCA that stops here, how convenient!

Small but very interesting

Great musuem space in the heart of Japan Town. Visit and see interesting contemporary art and head to Japan Town for some great food.

Beautiful ️

Shade, bathrooms, helpful staff, you can check in your drinks, comfy couches next to a shuttle back to the BROAD, and conveniently close to the metro~

Who said LA doesnt do art? Excellent video installation by Doug Aitken (worth checking out), great space, large enough to keep you enthralled and entertained for several hours. Free between 5-8pm

Nice exhibits and pretty patio

Nice and clean place

Really nice place to visit

Call me old fashion but if I will date someone, it will definitely here in this museum.. There is a catch walking and getting to know in a sweet ambiance like here in The Museum of Contemporary of Art. Awesome experience :D

Kind of boring. Not much to see. Cool gift shop.

Came to see some art on a school field trip. I dont understand art much,therefore I was not very amused. The sculptures and art pieces being displayed were interesting.
