As you've been reading through my SoCal journal, you've probably learned some about me and my educational background. I went to school at UCLA and studied Art History, and actually worked for over a year at this museum in the Education Department. I taught small children about art and color, or really at times the children taught us about how to view art without expectaions or rules and limitations.
This museum is enormous. It features all types of art from all different cultures and all types of art movements in the permanent collections. That includes American Art, Ancient and Islamic Art, Chinese and Korean Art, Costume and Textiles Decorative Art, Japanese Art, Modern and Contemporary Art, Photography, Prints and Drawings, South and Southeast Asain Art, and European Painting and Sculpture.
The neat things to see at this museum are the exhibitions. There are many exhibits that travel the nation and the world to be viewed at distinguished museums such as LACMA. These exhibits can feature an artist, a movement, an artistic medium, or even a culture or era. These---in addition to the permanent pieces---are what makes LACMA a must see on your visit through Los Angeles.
