Bhagavad-gita Museum, Art museum in West Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, US

The Bhagavad-gita Museum is an art museum in Culver City, Los Angeles County, displaying eleven dioramas made of handcrafted clay figures that depict scenes and teachings from the ancient Indian spiritual text. The figures are arranged in detailed settings that bring together characters, symbols, and narrative moments to illustrate the text's philosophy.

The founders traveled to India in 1973 to learn traditional clay working techniques from local craftspeople before creating the exhibition. After several years of work, the museum opened to the public in 1977.

The museum is run by ISKCON, the Hare Krishna movement, and its eleven dioramas were inspired by a 1930s exhibit by Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati. In 1973 A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada sent disciples to Mayapur, India, to learn diorama doll making; they studied for fifteen months before work began in Los Angeles. The figures are built from bamboo, rice straw, clays and rice husk.

A visit typically takes between one and two hours, depending on whether you join a guided tour or walk through on your own. The exhibits follow a clear sequence and are accessible to visitors of all ages.

The museum's computer-synchronised show, with lighting, a 16-track sound system and film and slide projectors, was advanced for 1977 but suffered glitches and fell into disrepair by 1995. It was refurbished from 1999 and reopened in 2001 with solid-state controls, then renovated again and reopened in 2016.
