Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
Mid-Wilshire / Miracle Mile · Los Angeles, California
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is the largest art museum in the western United States, with a collection spanning more than 142,000 objects and 6,000 years of history. From ancient Egyptian antiquities and pre-Columbian ceramics to modernist masterpieces and ambitious contemporary acquisitions, LACMA's encyclopedic collection reflects the extraordinary cultural diversity of Los Angeles itself. Chris Burden's "Urban Light" — 202 restored cast-iron street lamps — has become one of the most photographed public artworks in the world. The museum's ongoing transformation under director Michael Govan continues to shape the future of art in the American West.
