Museum Store
Named one of the best museum shops in 2006 by Los Angeles Magazine, the Hammer store is renowned for its extraordinary range of books (including hard-to-find titles) on art, architecture and design. The bookstore offers around ten thousand titles, ranging from ancient art to cutting-edge contemporary art. The store also offers a unique selection of jewelry and gifts, and includes items handmade by local artists.
KCRW’s Ed Goldman declared the Hammer bookstore the best in Los Angeles in December 2005: “The Hammer Museum bookstore has the best selection of art-related books in the whole city. On top of that they have a great gift shop full of original and very reasonably priced items."
UCLA students, faculty, and staff always receive a ten percent discount. Members of the Museum and Friends of the Graphic Arts also receive discounts.
The shop is open during regular Museum hours. To speak with a member of the museum store staff, please call (310) 443-7063.

Tours
Group tours at the Hammer Museum are led by UCLA student educators. Groups may choose between viewing special exhibitions, the Armand Hammer Collection, and the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden. Tours are conducted during Museum hours and last approximately 45 minutes. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
The Hammer Museum offers three types of tours to accommodate the specific needs of your group:
60 minutes: Student Educators lead discussion-based tours through one exhibition. Each tour last 45-60 minutes and is tailored appropriately based on the group’s type and age.
20/20: A less formal tour, the 20/20 tour begins with a 20-minute gallery talk followed by 20+ minutes of self-guided viewing. Visitors view the art at their own pace, while the Student Educator is on-hand to field questions and discuss works of art with members of the group.
Self-Guided Tours: Reservations are also required for groups of 10 people or more. Please contact the Academic Programs Department at least one week prior to your visit at 310-443-7041.
