I am a long time fan of The Museum of Neon Art/MONA (136 W. 4th Street). Only in Los Angeles would you have a museum celebrating a rare gaseous element obtained by liquefaction of air. The exhibits sometimes feature a neon artist, other times display wonderful old signs refurbished to their former glory. MONA has changed location a couple of times since its start in 1981, but loyal followers have stayed the course. Now located in the heart of Los Angeles, MONA is a great stop on a downtown day trip.
MONA is open Thursday through Saturday, 12 noon to 6:00pm, Sunday Noon to 5:00pm, closed Monday through Wednesday.
Admission is Adults $7.00, Students/Seniors $5.00 Children 5-12 $3.00, under 5,FREE
For the truly intrigued, neon classes and the MONA Neon Cruise is also available (not cheap, but plenty cheerful.)
