1. The Hammer Museum is located in Westwood Village, Los Angeles. It was founded in 1990 by oil baron Armand Hammer as a public arts institution for the display and collection of modern and contemporary art. The museum has a permanent collection of over 2,000 objects, including works by Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Rembrandt, and Diego Rivera. The Hammer Museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, film screenings, and lectures throughout the year. One of the interesting facts about the museum is that it is free to the public, thanks to the generosity of philanthropists Michael and Katherine Gould.
2. The Hammer Museum is open from Tuesday to Friday, from 11 am to 8 pm, and on weekends from 11 am to 5 pm. The museum is closed on Mondays and on major holidays. Visitors can contact the museum at (310) 443-7000.
3. As mentioned earlier, admission to the Hammer Museum is completely free, but visitors are advised to reserve their tickets in advance, especially for special exhibitions. The museum is easily accessible by public transportation (metro bus lines 2, 302, and 761), and there is also a parking garage across the street for those driving to the museum.
