Pricey Pixels for Dataland

Dataland, Refik Anadol's immersive museum of ethically sourced AI art, says it will open June 20, 2026. There's still no word on ticket prices, but don't expect a cheap family outing. Dataland is offering three categories of membership, ranging from $350 to $1500 a year. At other museums the lowest tier of membership is typically about the price of three tickets. Is is possible that Dataland will be the first L.A. museum to approach $100 for a single-visit ticket? (And LACMA is getting dragged for Erewhon's $20 smoothies.)

Dataland is located in the Frank Gehry-designed The Grand L.A., across from Disney Hall and an easy walk to two free museums, the Broad and MOCA Grand Avenue.

I'd do $90/yr, nothing more. Such a pity they are so grasping.

AI art to me is so dependent on software-technology-machinery, Dataland may be satisfying it it's similar to the experience at the Sphere in Vegas. Which is a building that reportedly doesn't have a workable business plan.

100% NO for me.

In the gift shop, you will be able to buy worthless NFT's (starting at $50 dollars). Not to worry there is plenty of those to go around...

If this is well-done, it could be a big hit. I've been to some of these "immersive" art experiences that felt really cheap but, when done right, it can be a fun experience.
