In the world of LA tourist attractions, the Museum of Tolerance is something of a miracle. Without the lure of thrill rides or blockbuster art, the MOT has been garnering rave reviews with powerful interactive exhibits on the Holocaust and highly charged subjects such as human rights, diversity, and intolerance.

Exhibits

Among the MOT's exhibits:
- Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal's original office brought from Vienna includes original artifacts, providing the setting for a compelling multimedia biography.
- Video host Billy Crystal celebrates the diversity of America in Finding Our Families, Finding Ourselves.
- The Holocaust Exhibit transforms visitors into witnesses to this horrific tragedy. Following the tour, visitors have the opportunity to hear a survivor speak of their experiences.

Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
