It’s Fun, Free and Only One Day a Year! Posted by MotaDay on Monday, December 31, 2012 · 1 Comment

Join us for Museums of the Arroyo Day on Sunday, May 17, 2020, when six museums in Los Angeles and Pasadena open their doors — free of charge — from noon to 4 p.m.

Each year, thousands of Angelinos have experienced the diverse mix of art, architecture and history of the Arroyo Seco area found in the six unique history-based museums that preserve and perpetuate early Los Angeles life. Discover what continues to make the Arroyo Seco a bustling, vibrant arts-driven community that crosses neighborhoods and social boundaries.

The public can visit the MOTA museums during the day at no charge.

We encourage visitors to pace themselves and don’t try to see all six museums in one day. Pick three museums and explore at a leisurely pace.

As always, we expect great interest in MOTA Day, so visitors are advised to arrive early. We’ve added additional parking and you can easily use the Gold Line to get to MOTA Day, so click here for more information.

Like Museums of the Arroyo Day on Facebook for more MOTA Day fun!

We look forward to seeing you.
