Disclosure
This page explains how losangelesmuseums.guide earns money, and what that does and does not change about what appears on the site.
How This Site Earns Money
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When a reader clicks one and completes a booking, the site earns a commission from the booking platform. The three platforms this site links through are GetYourGuide, Viator and GuruWalk.
A booking made through an affiliate link costs the reader nothing extra. The price is the same whether the link is used or the reader goes to the platform directly. The commission is paid by the platform out of its own margin.
What Earns Nothing
Not every museum on this site produces income, and the split is worth stating plainly:
- The 11 free museums in the directory have no ticket to sell. They earn this site nothing, and no affiliate link is placed on their pages.
- The 10 museums linked only to their own official ticket page are connected directly to the museum, with no booking platform in between. These links earn this site nothing.
Where a museum sells through GetYourGuide or Viator, the site may earn a commission. Where it does not, the link is a plain pointer to the museum's own site.
About GuruWalk
GuruWalk is a pay-what-you-want free walking tour platform. Guides lead the walk for free and are tipped by participants at the end. This site links exactly one Los Angeles walk: the Free Tour of Downtown LA, a two-hour walk meeting at 600 W 1st St between The Broad and Walt Disney Concert Hall. Los Angeles has one English listing on the platform, and this site does not imply otherwise.
Prices And Figures On This Site
Prices, ratings and other figures shown across the site are drawn from the live listings on the booking platforms and from museums' own pages. They move with date and currency, and the figure on the platform at the moment of booking is the one that applies. Nothing on this site should be read as a fixed or guaranteed price.
Where a museum's own page is the ticket route, that page is the authority on price, hours and closures. Where a booking platform is the route, the listing is the authority.
Editorial Independence
No museum has paid for placement, a review or a mention on this site. Museums are listed because they are Los Angeles museums, not because a link earns a commission. The free museums and the official-link museums earn this site nothing and appear in the directory on the same terms as the affiliate museums.
