A wonderful museum with cultural based exhibits. The front desk was welcoming and admission was free. The area around the museum is filled with culture and history. The exhibits themselves were also pretty interesting. I was only able to visit “LA Starts Here” and “Linda Vallejo” which we’re both on the first floor. There are more exhibits on the second floor, but didn’t have time to visit them. Both exhibits talk about the culture before Americans colonized California and also the discrimination and violent acts that they suffered against. The “Linda Vallejo” exhibit also had beautiful art works and statistics about the Latino population. Overall, the exhibits were interesting and was definitely worth the visit.

If you haven't been to this jewel of Mexican culture and art, you're missing a two story, professionally done space with changing exhibits. Historical and contemporary depictions of Mexican life in Los Angeles; depicted using brilliant photography, video and recreated street life spaces. It's free and open every day except Tuesday.
Well organized! I learned so much about Mexican-American history, cultures and value. I definitely, would like to visit for different exhibition.
Nice place to hang out with family and friends! Molcajete Dominguero had an event right there. Music. Artisan ice cream and food. Clothing and more!
Historical marker inscription: Forced Removal of Mexican Americans During The Great Depression. Beginning in 1929, government authorities and certain private sector entities in California and throughout the United States undertook an aggressive program to forcibly remove persons of Mexican ancestry from the United States. In California alone, approximately 400,000 American citizens and legal residents of Mexican ancestry were forced to leave and go to Mexico. In total, an estimated 2 million people of Mexican ancestry were forcibly relocated to Mexico. Approximately 1.2 million of these people were United States citizens born in the United States. Throughout California, including areas in downtown Los Angeles near this monument, massive raids were conducted in Mexican American communities. These raids targeted persons of Mexican ancestry and indiscriminately characterized these persons as \illegal aliens\ even when they were United States citizens or legal residents. These raids resulted in the clandestine removal of thousands of people, many of whom were never able to return to the United States, denied their right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the American dream in their country of birth. As publicly acknowledged by the California State Legislature in California Government Code §8722 (2005), the State of California apologizes to those individuals that were victims of this epatriation\ program for the fundamental violations of their basic civil liberties and constitutional rights committed during the period of illegal deportation and coerced emigration. Dedicated on February 26, 2012 at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes.
