::I had a great time. The exhibition was very enlightening and educational. Marianna was a great host. I look forward to going back there soon.

::I had a hard time rating this one. It felt like a 3, but I have a hard time five anything less than a 4 to a free museum! I mean... it's free! So I'm making a new rule, that unless there is something really bad, I can't give a FREE museum less than 4 stars for just not being extensive enough. The building is awesome! It is a super old building with LOTS of history! It was even an old speakeasy during prohibition upstairs and you can see the door you used to knock on. Right now the museum is essentially one room. it's a beautiful room with some really nice displays... but it really needs to be larger. There is another area that was closed that it looked like they were getting ready to add another exhibit. If they open up that area, then I think that would do wonders for this museum. It just needs more. The staff was super friendly and very eager to give facts about the Italians. One was impressed at my son Rocco's name. While I wouldn't make a day trip to the area JUST for this museum, this area is CERTAINLY worth a day trip! My toddler and I literally visited 6 museums! There are small museums all around here and almost all of them are free! Start your journey with a walk down Olvera Street! Catch the Avila Adobe, maybe have lunch or a snack. Then walk across the way and visit The Chinese American Museum, the Plaza Firehouse Museum and the new Gateway to Nature (which is a nature center full of things for kids to do). Then walk across the street to La Plaza De Culturasy Artes museum. Maybe poke your head into Our Lady of Angeles Church. I'm very Atheist, but this is historic as it's literally what named and started Los Angeles. Then continue down Main street and hit up the American Tropical Historical Museum and end with the Italian American Museum! There are a few other things in there too I think I missed. A great day!

::Great place, it's on Oliver's street where you can do shopping or have a meal n chat there. The shopping place has colored skulls? They look nice ask questions about them ok.

::Located in the perfect place- the old Italian Hall, a place as much of a display as the artifacts within- the museum has a lovely permanent collection and exceptional temporary displays.
