Hauser & Wirth

The only place in LA where you can ponder modern art, eat award-winning food, shop for design books, and say hi to actual chickens… all before noon. It’s not just a gallery — it’s a lifestyle. You wander through museum-grade exhibits, stumble into a chic bookstore that makes your coffee table feel underdressed, then end up at Manuela, where the cocktails are as artistic as the installations. Outside? A courtyard straight out of a European daydream, complete with a chicken coop that somehow makes total sense in DTLA. Come for the art, stay for the food, leave convinced you should own and install a chicken coop in your garden.

Beautiful space. Pleasantly surprised by the exhibits. There were two small indoor galleries, courtyard restaurant, some shops, and a small garden. Went early saturday, started getting busy around noon. Would recommend going on a weekday. Free entry. Paid garage across the street. Total time spent around 1hr.

If you're in downtown the art district you should visit Hauser & Wirth. You could enjoy the art by different artist before or after you eat because they have a top notch restaurant called Manuel's which also serve drinks. They have valet parking so no need to worry about that.

A hidden gem in the area. I went to the gardens during the weekend and sat for a few hours, enjoying the sun, birds and plants. Finding this kind of quiet and relaxing places is rare around. The museum is also great and free, definitely worth checking out. A lot of locals seemed to hang out here and chat

Great spot with outdoor garden and restaurant. Don’t forget to visit the chickens.
