You are in luck because Los Angeles has more museums per capita than any
other city in the country.  Besides the ones already mentioned by others,
there is also:

California African American Museum (in Exposition Park, next to the new
California Science Center and the Natural History Museum)
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Santa Monica Museum of Art
The Armand Hammer Museum at UCLA (Westwood area)

and, since you are interested in September, I can also recommend my museum,
Fisher Gallery at the University of Southern California (we open September
9 with a new exhibition of work by Robert Farber)
