Climb aboard MONA’s double-decker bus for the ride of your life! An illuminating tour of the bright lights of the big city, you’ll have a bird’s eye view of historic vintage signs, animated movie marquees, and contemporary neon installations. Learn the history of neon as you travel in style through downtown L.A. and along Hollywood and Wilshire Boulevards. Complimentary drinks and light refreshments are served en route. Our tour includes a visit to the Museum of Neon Art (founded in 1981), which opened its new main exhibition space in 1996. MONA annually mounts five to eight temporary exhibitions of serious contemporary fine neon sculpture as well as historic commercial neon. The museum maintains an archive and a slide library of over 5000 transparencies.
