Free Stuff to Do in L.A. #1

Being a homeschooling mom, I try to find as many cool, affordable activities as possible to do with my girls. I especially love to find free stuff to do! One super-cool place you can go to with children is the LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art).LACMA offers the only free youth membership program in the nation! Nexgen offers free general admission to anyone 17 and under as well as one accompanying adult! This includes permanent collection galleries and selected special exhibitions. To join, just visit the museum box office and sign up. If you prefer, you can go to http://www.lacma.org/arts-for-nexgen-lacma for a mail in application you can print out. I've included a photograph of a work of art created by my 12 year old at the Boone's children's Gallery on a recent visit. LACMA is located at 5905 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles CA 90036. If you need more information, the telephone number is 323 857-6000. LACMA is open every day except Wednesdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
