LACMA
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, also known as LACMA is mostly recognized by the Urban Lights where people typically spend most of their time taking their famous selfies and group photos in different angles. Although, the Urban Lights play an important factor to the museum, LACMA was founded in 1910 as a part of the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science, and Art by Exposition Street just near the University of Southern California. In 1961, LACMA separated to its own independent institution in Wilshire Boulevard which devoted their time in collecting its diverse works of art that deals from Latin, Asian, Pre-Colombian, Islamic, and contemporary art. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art not only provides the community a space of history but also displays the different types of perception of many artists through their own experiences either intellectual, educational, and/or cultural. LACMA is the largest Art Museum in the L.A area, it holds about 130,000 objects of art. Every different object symbolizes the Los Angeles' history and how people through their own perspective define their culture depending on what they have gone through or experienced. Every building is different in their own way. They represent different things to different people. LACMA is place where people were able to express themselves without the fear of being judged or criticized by what they saw through their eyes. LACMA is a place of perception and perspective where a piece of art can mean something to someone and it can mean a complete different thing to someone else.
