LUGGAGE STORAGE AT MUSEUMS
This option is only for the time you're visiting the museum.
Many permit you to leave your suitcases with their customer service staff, just be sure to call and ask beforehand.
Please do not use these for daily use while you visit other sites. It is for museum patrons only.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) requires that any bag 11inX14in or larger must be checked. Fortunately, all bag checks are complimentary.
The John Paul Getty Museum requires that any backpacks, umbrellas, bags, purses or packages larger than 11X17X8in be checked at the Coat Check in the Museum Hall Entrance (complimentary).
The Broad and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) offers a complimentary bag and coat check in the lobby.
LUGGAGE STORAGE AT THE AIRPORTS
Unfortunately, TSA no longer allows lockers at airports in the United States so you won't find self-service luggage storage at any area airport.
You can always call your airline and see how early you can check a bag, as some will allow you to check luggage hours before your flight.
Fortunately, there are a few storage companies located nearby the airport.
LAX Luggage Storage
Located just 5-minutes from the airport, LAX Luggage Storage will meet you curbside at the airport to collect your luggage from you and return it to you curbside at the airport when you're ready to fly out.
Prices range from $10-$15 per day per piece and there is an additional $5 fee per luggage piece for curbside collection (it's free if you go to their facility to drop it off yourself).
