Forest Lawn Museum

i wasn't expecting much when i noticed that this museum was part of the cemetery but my mind quickly changed once we made it to the top of the hill and saw the chapel and building next to it. we were lucky to visit on a very peaceful and slow day with not much foot traffic so much of the small viewing areas were empty. it is very small and only 3 small sections but i highly suggest setting aside an hour from your day plans and visit to see some of the statues on display. we even said we'd like to return in a few months or a year to see a new exhibit or something else they might add.

Really awesome. Really cool sights, paintings, and sculptures. The big one at the end is cool too but the guy they have partraying Jesus sounds either like a villain from an old James bond movie or someone from a biker gang. Something along those lines. A little weird... BUT really cool. Would definitely go again.

This place is amazing! Respectful resting place of the stars, plus art, architecture, and acres of manicured grass. Worth a visit, you'll be surprised with what you see! Sorry no interior pix, please respect their No Photography request.

So beautiful! Rolling hills, sweeping vistas and lots and lots of dead people. Underground of course but oh they're there! Still, it's quite tranquil. At the top resides a small.museum and a chapel and an unparalleled view of Glendale and downtown L.A. The chapel is a copy of an old English church from the 900's and the museum has an actual Easter Island statue as well as some gorgeous bronze and marble sculptures. Also up top is two GIGANTIC paintings of the crucifixion, one that was lost for decades which is so large and long it was wrapped around a telephone pole until it was rediscovered and a companion piece painted specifically for the cavernous hall built around it. All in all I'd say Forest Lawn Glendale is well worth the visit even if you don't have someone to bury which while it may be the reason the place exists it has much more to offer than dirt.
