The Museum of Neon Art (MONA) illuminates the past, present, and future by exhibiting and collecting cutting-edge electric, and kinetic artworks and historic neon signs. All neon signs and art are handmade. By teaching this craft, and preserving neon across the landscape we build connections to science, community, and technology. We use creative expression to foster dialogue across diverse communities and to keep Los Angeles County glowing.

Current exhibits include:

• Selections From The Permanent Collection, Ongoing
  Rotating and permanent displays of neon art, signage, and plasma sculpture from MONA’s permanent collection as well as works on loan from some of the brightest lights in contemporary neon art. Historic signage from the 1920’s to present and Fine Art from 1970’s to present
• Michael Flechtner: Ecce Artifex , June 19, 2025 – June 7, 2026
