If you have never been to Los Angeles County Museum of Art (better known as LACMA), or even if you have, this weekend is your opportunity to visit this LA cultural staple for free! Take advantage of the opportunity to visit the museum's Miracle Mile campus for a day of art, culture and enjoyment!
This special event includes free admission to all of the museum's exhibits, including the new 50 for 50: Gifts on the Occasion of LACMA's Anniversary. This exhibit includes the gifts received by the museum from all over the world for its 50th anniversary. Some notable artwork that was donated to LACMA for the exhibit include Taddeo Gaddi's "Crucifixion with the Madonna and Saint John the Evangelist," Edgar Degas' "At the Cafe Concert: The Song of the Dog" and "Portrait of a Gentleman," a marble bust by Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini.
The day also includes 50 self-guided activities from various parts of the Miracle Mile campus. While you do need tickets for the 50 for 50 exhibit, tickets are still free of charge. Another aspect of the day is a concert at the Bing Theater.
If you're interested in attending, the LACMA's hours on Sunday are from 10 AM to 7 PM. Remember, as you walk through the museum, you may take pictures, but it is asked that you refrain from using flash photography. If you would like a more personalized experience, you can download the museum's app!
LACMA is located at 5905 Wilshire Blvd. It is approximately a 25-minute from Palazzo Westwood Village apartment homes. The drive will be well worth it for the chance to see such rare works of art.
