I paid $41 for the tickets for May 29th and turns out that the museum was not even open on that date - thus I could not go. I need my money reimbursed for a ticket I could not even use.

You're absorbed in the human experience. Everything you see is relevant to our social past, present, and future actions and survival. All displays are interactive and introspective. One cannot be disconnected, no matter the faith, country, or morality. There is so much history and reflection that I saved the upper levels for another trip.

Although I was here many years ago when my children were in elementary school, the experience was amazing again. I'm glad I got there at 10:30 am and could enjoy the exhibits without a group. Coming later would have been a rush. The recorded guide through the exhibits was perfect, and, contrary to my typical tiredness walking through other museums, the pace was perfect here, with benches to sit on but fascinating things to read and listen to. The historical context presented really painted a full picture of how Hitler came to power; a sober reminder of what can happen today as well. The interactive social lab, which highlights many social issues throughout the world, would be particularly meaningful to young people, as it answers ways they can take action to improve the world. Although the Anne Frank story is known well to almost all, the exhibit told more and was captivating. I wish this could be a required visit for every student in school, as well as all adults.

I visited this museum in early 2020 for the second time and it was just as powerful as the first time I'd was there in '17. The journey through the building sends a chill down your spine as you soak in the various ways mankind is cruel to itself in so many countries around the world and has been through history. Very educational and enlightening.

The Museum of Tolerance is different from every other Holocaust museum I've been to (NY, Israel, DC). It's hard to explain but basically you and any people that walk in around the same time as you walk through the museum watching videos. You stand in one area and watch a video then the audio moves further down, you walk a few paces and another video starts there, etc. It was interesting, because I'd never been to a museum that approached it this way and I did see some interesting footage that I don't think I'd seen before. But I didn't really enjoy standing without walking for so much or that we had to stay in a group or that there wasn't really anything to read or get more information about. It's an interesting concept, but perhaps a limiting one? We knew they closed at 5pm, and we showed up a bit before 3:30pm. We were told that they don't really recommend anyone starting after 3:00 but didn't really understand why! Now I do! It takes about 1.5 hours to do all of the videos with the group of people you're with. There's a bit more to the museum, but we didn't get to explore that as it closed at 5pm (strangely, the Anne Frank exhibit is open until 6:30 although the rest of the museum closes at 5). If you live in LA, then this is a fine museum to visit/take your children to. If you're traveling to LA and have been to other Holocaust museums in the country, I don't necessarily think that this museum is a must see. Interesting, but not a museum I'd recommend (certainly not over other Holocaust museums).

We visited with our teen boys during spring break, on the way home to Northern California from San Diego. It was truly sobering. The museum itself is well done, but the most impactful experience is the opportunity to hear Holocaust survivors share their stories. While we had all learned about the Holocaust in school, hearing a first person account gave a very different perspective, making it “real” in a way that books simply can’t. We realized the importance of hearing such testimony while we still can (the survivors are mostly in their 90s), and returned during summer break, this time buying a membership. We heard two more survivors. Although there are common threads, each has a different story to tell. We returned during winter break, again on the way home from visiting family in San Diego. This time we heard from a survivor, as well as a former white supremacist. I believe speakers are scheduled daily. This is a must-do not just for families, but for everyone.

I was surprised that there was no mention of the Holodomor or Palestine or other massacres committed by Jews. So they should rename it to museum of Jewish history. The references to civil rights leaders are also shallow in that they don't talk about Malcolm X like they talk about MLK. Being a Jewish museum, they have to welcome immigrants and discuss their plight from only one side. So, if you are Jewish and you want to be given a serving of confirmation bias, this is the place. If you are not, then maybe find different museum? It won't teach you about the Holocaust, any more than watching Schindler's List or another Hollywood drama will. They never discuss it with hard evidence and facts, just anecdotes.

If you have any previous knowledge about World War II, the Holocaust exhibition will not bring much learnings. The interactive activities are interesting, but their target is high school students, not adults.
The World Today exhibition is shallow and kind of tendentious, since it brings only one point of view of historical facts (for example, atomic bombs against Japan are not mentioned).
Also, videos are outdated.

I spent over two hours there. The walls are lined with Holocaust survivors, leaving with a "never forget" message. However the opposite side truly delivered the idea of how easily words influence people, positively but mostly negatively. A very powerful message..

Do I need to buy tickets in advance (going on a Sunday)? Do I need to space the times of my ticket purchases (for the Anne exhibit and general admission)?

1. If I were to see the majority of the museum, including the Anne Frank exhibit, approximately how long would it take?
2. Are all tours guided, or is one able to go through on own's own?

We went through on our own and it was fine. We got through the Museum of Tolerance at our leisure including the short films they were showing in about 2 hours. I would expect the same for the Anne Frank side although I did not visit that side.
We went on a weekday and there were several schools there on field trips. They have the museum "tickets" spaced out for appointment times that will help you get through the museum with a a guide but you can easily do it yourself.

I was thinking of going to this museum when I am in the LA area later this year. Will the museum be including any exhibits or responses to the increase in intolerance for people of color, women, people with disabilities the US has experienced recently? how will the museum maintain its independent views given it's close ties to the Trump administration?

I suggest you ask the museum directly. Given whom Trump is appointing, I think the main message that applies today from this museum (& others that discuss genocide & the Holocaust) is that we canNOT be silent. We must unite to fight against hate & intolerance. If we do NOT, history WILL REPEAT itself.

Sorry, but I really don't know. I was staying with a friend in San Fernando Valley, and so we didn't have baggage. Hope you enjoy the museum as much as we did; well worth the visit.
