Twenty-four institutions—exploring art, cultural heritage, natural history and science—will offer free admission to all visitors on one or both dates.

Named one of the best museum shops in 2006 by Los Angeles Magazine, the Hammer bookstore is renowned for its extraordinary range of books (including hard-to-find titles) on art, architecture and design. The bookstore offers around ten thousand titles, ranging from ancient art to cutting-edge contemporary art. The store also offers a unique selection of jewelry and gifts, and includes items handmade by local artists.

KCRW’s Ed Goldman declared the Hammer bookstore the best in Los Angeles in December 2005: “"The Hammer Museum bookstore has the best selection of art-related books in the whole city. On top of that they have a great gift shop full of original and very reasonably priced items."

UCLA students, faculty, and staff always receive a ten percent discount. Members of the Museum and Friends of the Graphic Arts also receive discounts.

The shop is open during regular Museum hours. To speak with a member of the bookstore staff, please call (310) 443-7063.
