Museums of the Arroyo day. Six museums all FREE. It's culturally gratuitous!!

Once a year six museums in the Arroyo Seco area participate in Museums of the Arroyo Day, opening free of charge from noon to 5 p.m.
(last museum entrance at 4 p.m.)

museums are:

• The Gamble House
• Heritage Square Museum
• The Los Angeles Police Museum
• The Lummis Home and Garden
• The Pasadena Museum of History.

A free shuttle should be available to move you around.

All six museums will have their usual historical displays and galleries open, and special MOTA Day activities

Here is their main website. Always check the website for best and latest info.

Currently it has the 2024 date. I have placed a date as a close guess to the expected 2025 date.

Since you only have a few hours of free access to these locations, and free events like this tend to attract a crowd . . . arrive early

It is NOT possible to see all. Pick three museums and explore at a leisurely pace.

In this case . . . . All the locations are standout. Yeah . . . I know you read the Police Museum and thought to pass on that.

But yes . . .along with the other things they have there, . . .
You get to snap take own free police booking photos or stand in a criminal lineup in the Interrogation Room.

I totally need to update my mugshot. I think the last one I have a different haircut. This is so much more convenient and does not involve a taser.

So since all the places are good. RSVP and then POST in the comments what museum you want to START at (and the time expected). If I see a trend I will use that as starting point.

The Gamble House and Pasadena Museum of History are located off the Ventura 134 freeway at Walnut Avenue.

The Los Angeles Police Museum is located south of the 134 freeway on York

The other three Los Angeles museums are located north of
downtown Los Angeles off the 110 freeway at the Avenue 43 exit.
Lummis Home is within walking distance across the Arroyo to Heritage Square.
The Autry’s Historic Southwest Museum Mt. Washington Campus is slightly further by foot from Lummis Home.

Gold Line Connections
Both Heritage Square and the Southwest are stops on the Gold
