The basics
The museum is a creation of the Jewish human rights organization, Simon Wiesenthal Center, and its exhibits both document the past and serve as a call to action. The center offers educator professional development, an archive of primary source documents, and a reference library.
With your Museum of Tolerance ticket, you can access the main museum exhibits, including the Tolerancenter, and see a historic letter penned by Adolf Hitler. Though entry to the Anne Frank exhibition requires a separate fee, this popular exhibit is worth the price. Learn more during your visit by attending a Holocaust survivor talk—which runs for about an hour—and stop by Finding Our Families, Finding Ourselves to learn about the family histories of celebrities and thinkers.
Things to know before you go

Visiting the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Just a short drive from the Museum of Tolerance you can find the Los Angeles County Museum of Art—known simply as LACMA—which showcases more than 100,000 art objects spanning centuries.

Though the museum is currently undergoing renovation, you can still enjoy the galleries in its Resnick Pavilion and Broad Contemporary Art Museum.
