The Gallery Nucleus combines the best aspects of impeccable art gallery design and modern popular culture artwork--its the perfect place to go to see museum-grade exhibition of art from your favorite movies, books, and TV shows, as well as original works done in bombastic, modern style. As a retailer of high-end art lighting and accessories, we can attest to the dedication and craftsmanship the Gallery Nucleus has put into designing and regulating its gallery, to best highlight and accent the pieces on display. It may be a gallery centered around pop culture, but it couldnt be further from "low art." If youre in the greater LA area, this gallery is one you cant miss.

This is a pop-culture, modern art store focusing on books and prints. Occasionally, they host various events and exhibitions for the artists who working in the movies, video games, fashion and other creative industries. The new location is now much larger and roomier than before with two stories, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. It is hard to park on the street in front of the store, but there are plenty of free parking spaces behind the store, just go around and look for it. Since they often host some really interesting exhibitions, I find myself keep coming here like almost every month, highly recommended!

Nucleus is one of my favorite galleries and its a great store as well. The shows subjects range tend to touch on popular culture and can always be trusted to be interesting. Theres also prints galore for sale, and t-shirts and gifts available in the front. Dont forget to check the gallery space upstairs as well. Photography is not only allowed, but encouraged as they understand the value of good social media buzz.

They hold art shows here all the time. Ive been to various themed events here and appreciate that we have one of these places locally. They sell unique shirts and modern art prints. The staff is friendly and courteous and Ive never had a hard time finding a parking spot. If youre into this kind of stuff, then youre in for a treat. Make sure to also check out the upper floor, as it can be easy to miss.

Small, but lively gallery. They have several events here with impressive guests, but lack any kind of event organizational skills. They are never prepared for the crowds big or small and are unable to even organize a line consistently. I attended an opening where they changed the way people lined up three times. Each time I was put behind people that arrived much later than myself.

I truly appreciate having such a great local art space in my neighborhood. The constant rotation of galleries by various artists keeps me going there every few weeks to check out what is new. The staff are super chill and I love the policy that allows us to take pictures of the exhibits to share later online. Would highly recommend this place!

A great gallery that manages to get great artist and speakers for their panels. They have a nice set up for their events. Lots of parking around the area. Only complaint is that they need to be more organized with their panels. People I have met all seem to have the same complaint about their lack of organization in handling big crowds.

Went to this gallery for the opening of a Disney show last night. The staff was super friendly, the little shop up front was stocked with awesome Disney merch. They had a great system for buying prints, but at least for the Disney show it definitely paid to get their early and wait in line if you wanted to buy anything.

One of my favorite places in LA County. Two exhibition spaces, special events, and a great store with a wide selection of prints, books, and other fun finds. They consistently bring in new material for discoveries on each visit. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Highly recommend.

Nate Nguyen

Lots of neat art, especially tribute art. They have regular events and receptions with artist signing. Neat place to check out if youre in the area. Beware, if you attend a reception get there early, these events are popular and there will be lines going out the door for 1 hr or more.

Exhibits here change monthly and are always appealing to the younger crowd with Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Big Bang Theory themes. Most popular pieces on display are also available for purchase in print for $25+. The gift shop also sells quirky accessories, t-shirts, and books.

They always have some guest artists from popular tv shows but sometimes I feel that they should expand beyond their comfort zone in terms of showcasing art. Their content is interesting on its own but I would love to see some changes.

Just received a framed print for my daughters room. Great job! They checked multiple times to verify framing preferences and were friendly & professional at every turn. Wonderful crew.

Love this gallery. Lots of illustration. Lord Almighty. Opening receptions are the most fun with new works coming through every month or so.

Sterling Price

Great place! Nice art shows, and parties. The only thing is the prints could be more organized and easier to thumb through.

hours of operation have changed. ck their website. Yelp may have them open m-sunday, but they are CLOSED on Mondays.

Charlie Zhong

Great little gallery that caters to the Comic-Con crowd. They have lots of artists drop by and sell prints as well.
