    Great guide to art galleries, museums and all things art in the entire Ojai Valley. Beautifully designed, written with a helpful map.

We booked them for a group of 50 clients, and every single person had a fantastic time. The experience was interactive, fun, and perfectly tailored to our group. The facilitators brought great energy and made sure everyone felt included and involved. It struck the perfect balance between entertainment and meaningful engagement, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Our clients are still talking about how much they enjoyed it, and that says it all. We will definitely be hiring Quick Culture again for future events. Highly recommended!

Our group of 12 was signed up by Renaissance club with Ellen for a private tour in the Getty museum. She was welcoming and so full of knowledge even about the design of the building infrastructure and architecture. Then the detail about each piece of art that we stopped to see were definitely tidbits that left me planning to read more on my own later because it was so interesting. The tour is with light walking and standing around each art but there are soft cushioned chairs in most of the gallery rooms to rest if you're tired. When we were finished I didn't want the tour to end, I wanted to hear more and more! I truly enjoyed this tour and I would love to return for another tour for the other areas of the Getty! Once the tour was over I stayed to peruse the bottom floor where the photo gallery was located but it's not the same quietly moving along looking at things on your own as it is to have a guide giving you such interesting bits of information! If you're thinking about visiting the Getty Museum I definitely recommend getting a tour with Quick Culture! Thank you Ellen for such an engaging experience!

    If there is one thing for certain -- the quickest way to put my husband to sleep is by visiting an…read moreart museum. Throw in a guided walking tour, and we have a comatose situation on our hands! So needless to say when I mentioned that I booked us on a 2-hour art tour of the Getty Center in LA, he wasn't exactly jumping for joy. But as usual, he went along with my plans even though he wasn't exactly sure WHY I was so excited about an art tour. That was, until I told him that it would be a juicy, behind-the-curtain tour at the Getty run by a company called Museum Hack. I first came across Museum Hack a few years ago when I was looking for unique things to do with my parents in LA. We never had a chance to do it together before my mom passed away. But I figured, why not be tourists for the weekend? I know my mom would have loved it. Our guide Vic had an infectious energy and passion for all things art. And the very first stop included a piece of art I would have never even stopped to look at. It was a glass bottle in the shape of a German guy... Also, known as a "joke glass." It turns out that it was an old-time mug for drinking booze! The drinker had to guess how to drink from the vessel -- and if any liquor was spilled, he was required to start again with a full glass. Basically, it's like a drinking game from college now on display in the prestigious Getty Museum. Who knows, that classic beer bong you got from the Jersey Shore might one day pop up at the Getty? Okay, probably not... Vic led us from one gallery to the next. She showed us the statues outside including one that had a removable penis (which actually was stolen a few years back!). The work of art is of a horse and rider by Marino Marini called Angel of the City for famed art collector and socialite Peggy Guggenheim. When Guggenheim commissioned the piece she insisted on it having a removable rod (aka penis) that could be screwed on and off to allow for a quick manning-down of the rider in case she had a prudish guest on her list. I can only imagine the well-heeled Ms. Guggenheim, quickly unscrewing the statue before the big shin dig! Today, the very prominent "rod" is permanently affixed. So don't feel tempted to tug it off, or face the wrath of the Getty security! Clearly, this isn't your grandma's tour. After getting an overview of the museum and checking out the gorgeous view from the outdoor gardens, we were ready for one of Museum Hack's signature elements -- an interactive game. Now, I gotta admit, I wasn't sure that I was going to be into this part of the tour. Really? A game?! But it turned out to be more fun than it sounds. Really! Vic sent us on our way to take photos on our iPhone of how we would go about stealing a piece of artwork. It's sort of like improv on the spot. Our story involved using a piece of art to slap the security guards on duty (though most tour groups say they'd steal the art by repelling down from the ceiling!). Next, Vic asked us to snap a photo of a piece of art that inspired us. I selected a work of a man wearing a bright white cape since it reminded me of my childhood and performing magic tricks in front of my family (or any audience for that matter!). My story was enough to win the grand prize at the end -- a free magnet from the Getty gift shop. Hey, I love anything free so I'll take it. And speaking of gift shops, you better know where I ended up at the end of our 2 hour tour. Yes, the gift shop is pretty amazing. And we might have even bought something. I couldn't pass up the book The Chronicles of Old Los Angeles, which outlines how the City of Angels came into existence. Okay, totally not about art but still a fascinating read.

Monisha had so much energy and enthusiasm for the material. We learned a lot of insights about women throughout history. Monisha had us play games that were fun. She also gave us a little snack at the half way point of the tour. On top of that, my wife won a prize that she LOVES! The Getty Museum is an amazing place to begin with. Museum Hack takes it to the next level. My wife and I both highly recommend the BABS tour. I think you will too! Check it out!

    My mom recently celebrated a big milestone birthday and I was in charge of organizing a surprise…read morecelebration for her. She and her girlfriends are all huge art appreciators and museum goers. I thought a "behind the scenes" art tour would be right up her alley. I consider myself pretty plugged in to the LA art scene - however, I was referred to a company that I had never heard of - ART MUSE LA. Art Muse Los Angeles is a community of art historians, artists and educators who offer small groups private art tours - in museums, galleries, artist studios and private collections - throughout the LA region. What a stroke of luck! I was put in touch with Clare Kunny, the owner and Director. She was incredibly charming, smart, and approachable on the phone. I told her I was looking for a curated art tour, something more than your typical museum docent tour. She emailed me with several fantastic, diverse ideas. I opted for a two-hour tour with a theme around women in the arts. Our guide, Susan Power, was incredibly knowledgeable. She highlighted contributions to American art of the LA-NYC gallerist Virginia Dwan at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Then we walked across the street to Spruth Magers gallery to tour the exhibition POWER displaying art made by African American women from the Civil War era to the present. Susan gave an in depth talk on both subjects in conjunction with her choosing select artworks that showed the strength of and vision of these women artists. My mother and her friends were blown away. She is still talking about it. If you're looking for something interesting, fun, and unique to do in LA - for a date night, for something to do for fun with friends, for a special occasion - I highly recommend checking out Art Muse LA. They are a gem in the rough. Thank you Art Muse LA for making my mother's birthday so incredibly memorable and special!
