Worth the visit, bring a penlight
Jan 2023
I had visited this museum about 30 years ago and looked forward to this visit. I recall it was very dark inside with hard to see exhibits and items. I took a small flashlight. (Cell phone light would get suspicious). It was OK, but not great. The place is still dimly lit with some wall hangings not lit at all. Also it says ADA friendly on the first floor, but only the main pathways. There are alcoves with interesting item that are not accessible. Its worth the visit for the oddities but you will leave wishing you could have seen the displays better. Parking is a problem. Sidewalks are not ADA friendly.

I can’t really describe this museum…. It’s a collection of really, really, odd and strange things in a mysterious location.

Second best museum in the world
Dec 2021
These are the six greatest museums in the world:

1. National Palace Museum, Taipei
2. Museum of Jurassic Technology, Culver City
3. Edge of the Cedars, Blanding
4. National Museum of the American Indian, DC
5. Getty Museum, Malibu
6. Louvre, Paris

I could say more but the other reviews are great and I believe this list speaks for itself.

Weird and amazing
Nov 2022
I absolutely love this place. They have some of the most random and bizarre exhibits that you won't see anywhere else. It also has a lovely tea room and aviary. Definitely recommend it for people who enjoy things that are quirky and weird. Tickets are also very reasonably priced at $12 (definitely worth the experience).

This place should be banned to call itself "museum". You cannot sell drainage water calling ut orange juice, how come it doesn't apply on this scam. An etnic restaurant walls with 4-5 authentic pieces hanged, deserve to be called museum more than this place. They may have picked some crap from the trash can of the street and making a social experiment by displaying those crap in a tiny pathetic dark space

GO!
May 2022
The Museum of Jurassic Technology is one of my favourite places in Los Angeles; a private museum that blends facts and fictions framed as museological exhibitions. A museum about museum displays and veracity. LOVE IT

Best of the best
Jan 2022 • Couples
Atmosphere is fantastic! Take you time to immerse yourself in the experiences, doze off in the cinema, expolore, meditate on the roof garden. Museum like I made it. Best of the best!

Perfect for anyone who loves art and the strange
Sep 2020
Don't research it, just go!

This is the top spot I refer people to when they visit LA. Perfect for anyone interested in contemporary art, specifically institutional critique. I've visited several times, and I always find something new when I go.

Probably not an ideal museum for children.

Step away from expectations
May 2020 • Couples
This is one of the best places in LA. Its hidden treasure can only be appreciated if you leave pretense on the sidewalk.

I went several times, took different people that i thought could understand what they were immersed in. Don't go here expecting MoMA. I hope you leave with a feeling that they are equivalent experiences. Im only writing this because there's a 2point rate with a long dissertation dissing this place.

Unique objects and unique location
Jan 2020 • Friends
I'll never work out what was real, what is myth and what was totally made up just to see what they could get away with! And the wonderful thing is I don't care.

It's fun, well presented and guaranteed you'll not see similar items anywhere else.

Loved the micro mosaics and the tribute to space dogs. "3D X-rays" were also great.
