BLUM — Attraction in Los Angeles

I went into an Yoshitomo Nara exhibition today and I brought my umbrella inside and didn't notice there was a container to hold umbrellas at the entrance I came through because it was so close to the door that I walked right past it (because my field of vision was just looking straight ahead towards the hallway to the exhibit - I came in through the side entrance next to the street).

In the exhibit, I asked a girl to take my photo, so I set my umbrella aside on the floor so it wouldn't be in the photo. Then this security guard with blonde hair came up to me (as I was about to take photos) and told me that there was a container at the entrance to put it in, in which I was like "Okay yeah sounds good!" After I just finished taking my photos (which took like 1 min), I was looking at them quickly while I was walking back towards where I put my umbrella (to put back) - then he comes up to me again and says "Did you hear what I just said?? You need to put it back so the floors don't get wet." And I said "Yeah I was going to put it back right now after I just took those photos..." He said it in such a condescending tone and it was honestly quite rude and made me feel bad :( . Of course I was going to put it back, he didn't have to tell me twice.

I was just trying to enjoy the exhibit, and it sucks when an interaction like that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I went into the next exhibit which had the colored Yoshitomo Nara work and the security guard there was soo nice! Made me feel a lot more comfortable and welcome than...

Been to this museum multiple times before and I’ve never had an issue. The exhibitions are well curated and the area is beautiful. However, recently on Tuesday, I visited to see the Nara Yoshitomo exhibition and my boyfriend and I were checking out the books. We wanted to know the prices of one of them that was located on the display table, as well as purchase a hat, so we asked the lady at the front desk and was given some attitude as we weren’t for sure which book it was. Understanding that they do have multiple Nara Yoshitomo art books, I tried to explain that it was the one located on the table with a blue spine. But throughout the process of trying to figure out which book it was, the lady was condescending. She stated that they had several books of his and we needed to be specific. I felt slightly off put by her attitude as I figured some kind customer service would be helpful for a situation like this. As someone who does work in customer service, I understand it may be frustrating or tiring, the tone and attitude given to us was unprompted as we did not give any to her. We simply just wanted to know the...

Always worth the drive to Culver City! Within walking distance there are about 13 galleries here, and I start at Plum and Poe because I know it will be powerful.

There is a upstairs and downstairs. Downstairs there is one huge room, with high open ceilings and concrete floors. The space is great. As you turn the corner there's a smaller area.

You can take the stairs or elevator. Upstairs there is office space, and gallery space. This is more intimate, but still quite large.

There is a gift shop downstairs. There is a help desk where I have always found the person there to be friendly, knowledgeable and...
