A+D Architecture and Design Museum in Silver Lake

I would like to exhibit my work but I cant find a space . Can someone here help me?.

Great place to view the relatively stinky food items from all around the world. Plus you can try the items - wow. Highly recommend it

Such a great museum. Have attended so many events at this museum. Such an inspiring ambience and exhibits to be surrounded by.

Small space with nice art and designs. Should visit if in Arts district and looking for some art to see 😛

We checked online to see when the museum opened, and it said 2. We arrived a little bit after 2, but it didn’t look like anybody was there. All of the doors and gates were locked and closed. I kept calling the museum and nobody would pick up, even after 2:30, so we wasted a trip to downtown in traffic and didn’t even get to see the exhibit.

Im sorry to leave a bad review about this place but its the truth. I literally will never go here again unless to an an interesting event using the venue. The museum consisted of 2-3 rooms with not much to see. Im not sure if they were between exhibits or something, but maybe they should have said so. Basically we were looking at architecture students masters theses. Museum is not accessible by train, not pedestrian friendly (Skid Row area), and the area doesnt look bike friendly. The $10 per person suggested donation was basically a charitable contribution to the arts, as I felt we didnt get anything in return from the museum. Even the front desk staff sounded embarrassed to state the admission price, emphasis on "suggested." Upside: bathrooms, place to sit, refuge from unsafe vibe on streets.

It was very cool. Best museum Ive ever been to. Workers are very helpful and nice.

Great place to visit -- interesting displays, including younger kids (7-11 maybe)

We had a great time at the museum. A smaller building with some thought provoking pieces. Bring cash to donate as there are no tickets to get in. You can donate online if you dont have cash.

Stumbled upon this place with my boyfriend and it was such a wonderful surprise! The guy at the front desk was super chill and helpful. He said they rotate exhibits every 2-3 months. We went through the whole thing in about an hour. The exhibits were well done and very interesting to explore. Would definitely come back.

I expected a bit more given the title of the museum however the space was very cool and curated well. I appreciated the ability to donate vice a set price and will definitely return to see new exhibits as they come.

This isnt even worth slowing down the car to look at through the window as you drive by. There were two exhibits when we stopped by. The first was a room filled with projectors - about half of them were working - displaying text descriptions of architectural movements. I thought this exhibit might still be under development. The second exhibit was a room filled with bizarre, un-buildable architectural models with absolutely no signage or any context. It felt like high-school drafting class discards.The woman at the desk told us it was a $10 suggested donation. The exhibits inside are definitely not worth it.

Came out for the disgusting museum. Great lil art walk alley. Had a parking lot. Lots of really artful taggings and graffiti.

You can walk through the exhibition in less than 30min. 9 tables and and a taste table

It Was my 1st time there to go to the disgusting food museum but that whole little area is nice artsy district

Great experience, you get to try some "interesting" food, give it a try!

Came here for the most Disgusting Food Tour. Tickets were a vomit bag that I almost used. Interesting what other cultures consider appetizing. Youre able to taste some of the items at their tasting bar. Bathrooms on premises and wheelchair accessible. Parking is $3 in coins only next door to the museum.

Very interesting changing exhibits. Also an interesting neighborhood in the Arts District.

Visited the Disgusting Food Museum. Worth the price as theres a lot to see and a handful of foods to try.

It was interesting and fun and most important...disgusting

Small museum in Arts District of DTLA. More like the size of a bigger gallery. As youd expect, they tend to have architecture and design exhibits. They also have interesting cool pop ups like museum of failure and disgusting food museum.Helpful staff. Plenty of close/nearby parking. Cool stuff in their small shop. Expensive as expected, but also unique, artistic, well designed stuff.Relaxed atmosphere. Chill inside or outside on the chairs. Take a picture outside in front of one of the several murals, art pieces if you want to pad your Instagram account or dating profile.

Disgusting food museum was amazing! Not only are there displays and smell jars but you can also taste some of the offerings! The whole place smelled like a toilet but that was coming from durian fruit and purified shark so, no worries! It was very interesting to learn whats considered disgusting when it comes to American food and the way foreigners perceive things like our twinkies and pop tarts.

A very fun, interesting & disgusting experience! Definitely had a great time & really loved that there was a sample bar to try some of the disgusting food. It was opening day & even got to meet one of the creators of the whole museum! He has tried 60 out of the 80 things exhibited, his least favorite was the century egg & the most favorite was the Rocky mountain oysters.Disgusting Food Museum with samples & we tried all available. Worst was the crickets & the best was spruce soda. 🤣🦗🥚🍽🥤😜🤢🤭 also tried salty licorice, Hakarl (stinky old shark), vegemite, sauerkraut juice, gamle ole (Danish cows milk cheese smells like smelly feet & rotting corpses), century eggs & chapulines (crickets - does not taste like potatoe chips!#disgustingfoodTons of fun, really fun to watch others reactions & willing to try everything once!

Small, unique museum that encourages you to remember that architecture is both an art and a science. What a curious yet interesting museum to walk through. Dont miss this quiet gem!

Big open space for interesting exhibits. Just needs air conditioning. Stifling hot in the summer heat.

What a great find. I find architecture fascinating so I was mesmerized. Parking in front and has clean restrooms.

Its brilliant! A remarkable addition to the world of Modernist Architecture, Contemporary Design. An inspired addition tothe Los Angeles Art and Museum culture.

Loved this quiet little space that I accidentally discovered during a visit to LA

Great design and architecture book store! Has a wide array of different design and art books! Also carries some specific design books (specific time periods, neon lighting, etc.)

Quite an interesting museum. Ill definitely recommend this place for those who are into architecture and design. The place charges $7 for regular and $5 for students. The staff are nice and like to communicate or explaining a little bit of things that you might interest to know. Also, the location of this place is great to take a mural pictures with getho graffities

We visited this space for the Museum of Failure exhibit which was entertaining and extensive. The setup and displays were well designed and the space as a whole is nice and open.

This place is small but it is chalk full of exhibits! I was extremely pleased. Its notable that I came for the pop up Museum of Failures.

Nice exhibit space, but a little too crowded for presale ticket time range restrictions, so they must have oversold the tickets way too much.

Special exhibit on failure was entertaining. Small place in obscure part of downtown.

Cozy yet successful use of space. I visited while the Museum of Failure was running, and am glad I did. Most of what I saw was explained in advance of my visit via the website but it didnt take away from the experience at all. What I found to be most interesting was not the exhibits themselves, but how other visitors interact with the space as the read the info panels. While there is no obvious flow of the space (to be fair, it was later in the exhibition with a new one needing the space soon), what would normally be frustrating for many turns into a group experience as you all coexist with the goal of making it out without bumping into others. Dont forget to look at the ceiling. Far too many spaces ignore the ceiling. A+D did not, and it is worth a glance or two if you appreciate functional yet aesthetically pleasing woodwork.

Museum of Failure was fun and interesting. Failed food products and electronics. They even had an Edsel.

Came to see the Museum of Failure. Awesome displays! The entrance and line can be a little confusing. Maybe need more signs to direct foot traffic.

Awesome exhibit here! Called "Museum of Failure". Highly recommend! Its only running for a limited time. It shows an incredible range of products, ideas and anything else you can imagine that never made it to fame and fortune. Some offered amazing trips down memory lane, some were hysterically funny and some were just mind blowing! You really do have to see this to believe it! Just a really fun way to spend a couple of hours taking a break from a serious world and finding fun!!

Came for the Museum of Failure limited time exhibit and loved the rest of the museum too.Theres free parking in the alleyway if you can find a spot.Loved walking through the nearby urban arts district.Urth Cafe is right around the corner.

Street parkingBathroomCool staffGood for 100 people not 250 or moreGood lightingHave a wedding or art display held here

Go see the Museum of Failure now residing inside. Great exhibits of failed products and businesses like Google Glass, the Edsel car and half a wall on all of Trumps business failures.

The Museum of Failure is a fail, well sort of. The exhibit was definitely a lot smaller than expected, which lead to a claustrophobic environment on a Sunday afternoon. Its also a bit costly for what you see at $15 so make sure to buy tickets at the door to avoid the processing fee. Parking is horrible so youll have to do some hunting.Like the others have mentioned, I dont see how Blockbuster is a fail when it was so successful for decades. Windows 8 is a fail just because of the lack of a Start Menu? Windows Vista overall is more of a fail than Windows 8. And while Segway didnt revolutionize transportation, you still see them around often enough. The Colgate lasagna made me cringe while all the Donald Trump products made me laugh.It was nostalgic to see the Nintendo Virtual Boy on display as I remember playing with one more than 20 years ago as a kid inside a Target. The Failure Confessional wall was entertaining and to be honest, I probably spent the most time there. I saw fails such as "not investing in bitcoin" to "Im on my 3rd marriage".Remember everyone, "If plan A didnt work, the alphabet has 25 more letters!" -Anonymous

A smallish but well-presented space for visiting art galleries. Street parking can usually be found if you dont mind walking a block or two.

Quirky and insanely interesting are two adjectives that I will use for this small museum - it cherishes failure with smile :)It can be completed in less than an hour - wasn’t knowing much about parking situation so I did end up parking in nearby parking lots. I bought a Groupon for it so you can save few bucks that you will end up using it for parking.Good thing is “ little Tokyo “ is right there and some shops may validate parking and that’s what I did.All in all, it’s a good way to learn how much failures have contributed in metamorphosis of successes in product designs to innovations.Being an aspiring product manager I absolutely loved this one - also, there is an art collection for the display.Staff is friendly and cool !!!Best,Nd

Went here for the Museum of Failure. Really nice building in the center of Art L.A. Great graffitti art throughout the neighborhood. Friendly staff.

I went there today for the Museum of Failures which is there until February 4, 2018... It was really interesting.... They had 100 failed ideas including failed ideas of big companies like Microsoft, Apple, Ikea, Sony, Ford, and so on. They charged $15 per person (no student discount or any kind of discount).

Out with the old in with the newGentrification at its best. A torn down rusty neighborhood full of empty and warehouses is getting a new facelift. With an amazing architecture school (SCI-Arcacross the street and many great restaurants surrounding it, the new Architecture + Design Museum is very fitting for where the area is going and the image it projects to the community.Gensler DesignedThe space is simple but fitting that hot shots at Gensler were the ones to design the space meant to house great exhibitions and artwork that will go down in history.

Walked here from DTLA. Pick the wrong street and its pretty rough. I wouldnt say dangerous during the day time but its either tent city or industrial park. Cab or drive to get to the Arts District.

The charge of $7 for one room of designers sample work products was not justified. There was nothing architectural and there was nothing "museum" quality. It was really a gallery of designers books and print work. The gift shop was more interesting

I stopped by today and didnt glance at my watch once. There are some innovative proposals for LAs water problems, not to mention enjoyable residential designs in this exhibit. Worth a visit just to see the wooden beamed ceiling inside this archbunker.Thanks A+D
