As a frequent visitor to Los Angeles (a.k.a. Paradise on Earth), I can
tell you it has many fine institutions, with one absolute must-see: The
Museum of Jurassic Technology.

As your visitor is primarily interested in art, I would strongly
recommend the African-American Museum in Exposition Park.  If she likes
architecture, there is the I.M. Pei Museum downtown, very near the
Contemporary.

And though I personally have never been, I hear wonderful things about
Huntington Gardens and Library.

The La Brea Tar Pits (are they open yet?) and the Autry are great fun as
well.

(My apologies if I have misspelled any names; I'm doing this from
memory.)

'Throat-Warbler Mangrove'."
