Skip the crowded LA galleries and hit this Santa Ana spot for the rotating exhibits that actually hit different. The permanent pre-Columbian collection is the real draw—it is surprisingly dense and weirdly hypnotic. Spend two hours here, then grab lunch in nearby downtown Santa Ana. Don't bother with the overpriced cafe inside; your money is better spent at any local taco spot. It is quiet, calm, and perfectly sized for a Sunday afternoon.
