Museum of Neon Art

Neon signage is a defining element of LA's cityscape, and the collection at this small-ish museum in the heart of Glendale includes legendary pieces from establishments including the (departed) Brown Derby, Pep Boys auto-repair shops and the Chinese Theatre. Besides permanent and temporary exhibits of signage and other light art, MONA holds twice-monthly "Neon Cruises" in summer to view works around town up close from open-topped double-decker buses.

Parking in municipal structures is free for up to 1½ hours.
