About
Glendale's Museum of Neon Art is a small gallery dedicated to the history and craft of neon signage in Los Angeles. It offers a focused look at the medium that helped define the city's visual identity, with rotating exhibits showcasing vintage and contemporary neon works. The museum is temporarily closed, but when open, it runs Thursday through Sunday with afternoon hours.
One standout offering is the Neon Cruise, a three-hour guided tour aboard a convertible double-decker bus that explores LA's neon landmarks, architecture, and hidden history. It's an information-packed ride where you can bring your own drinks. The museum itself is near Main St in Glendale, making it a quick stop if you're already in the area.

From the community
“A crazy nighttime tour of Los Angeles”
The Neon Cruise is wild. You get on the top of a convertible double-decker bus and explore the city on a warm summer night. The guide keeps going nonstop for three hours, pointing out the best and worst parts of town. Since the Museum of Neon Art runs it, there's a focus on neon history, but the tour covers LA's buildings, history, culture, dining, nightlife, shopping—it's a ton of details. Whether you're fresh here or a longtime local, it's worth doing. Bring your own bottle, but don't call it a booze cruise—it's the Neon Cruise!
