Los Angeles County Museum of Art aka: LACMA, L.A.C.M.A.

went here last Dec. ‘07. they had a Salvador Dali exhibit and a SoCal art exhibit as well. fascinating stuff. loved it and wouldn’t mind visiting again this year :)

this was a marvelous exhibit – wonder after wonder.

I liked to go here during lunch or just in the afternoon. Its a beautiful museum and they always have wonderful work displayed. A must see for sure.

Very Interesting place to go to! Has very unique and interesting yet beautiful art.

LACMA has a great collection of modern art: Picasso, Magritte… Also, LACMA has an extensive collection of Latin American art. In my opinion, LACMA is the best museum in Los Angeles.

Just went there a few weeks back to see the Hockney exhibit.

...was the “Made in California” exhibition, about images and art set in and about California as location and concept over the past hundred years. A lot of wonderful stuff and I could have spent a full day there—but for some reason apparently it caused a lot of controversy at the time. Kinda ridiculous!

And I’m a bit of an art museum snob, having visited some of the best museums in Europe. I’ve been visiting LACMA since I was a child – saw the King Tut exhibit there the first time it visited (and took my son to see it last year), took school field trips there, and countless visits with my mother. It’s a great museum – they have some lovely paintings (including one of my all-time favourite paintings, the “Magdalen With the Smoking Flame” by Georges de la Tour). Plus, they have a great collection of art and artifacts from around the world – statues of gods and goddesses from Asia, that sort of thing. While you’re there, make a day of it and visit the LaBrea Tar Pits and Page Museum, which are also wonderful.

and i really love lacma.

and it’s free after 5!!!

I had to go here for an art assignment… At first i thought it would be kind of boring… It turned out to be really fun… the best part was the Japanese and Contemporary art sections…
