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.
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
