Just remember to be respectful to the work and others. It's for the public

Urban Light at LACMA is one of those iconic LA tourist spots that's worth checking out at least…read moreonce, especially if you're on a date with your partner. I took my wife, and overall it was... okay. The biggest downside? The crowds. It was packed, making it almost impossible to get a clean photo without strangers walking through the frame or ending up in the background. Thank goodness for Samsung's AI photo editing--it saved a lot of our pictures. Parking was another headache. It took us a while to find a spot, and then we still had to walk over to Urban Light. After taking a few photos and spending a little time looking around, we were pretty much done and headed out for dessert. Overall, it's a nice place to visit once, but I probably wouldn't go back. And maybe it's just me, but I couldn't help thinking it's kind of a waste of electricity to keep all those lights on throughout the entire night.

Our docent was a young architect who really made the visit special, providing interesting details of the architect (Schindler) and original residents, the home/gardens, and construction. Without the tour we probably would have found the visit wanting. With the tour it was an hour extremely well spent.

Pros: 1) the site offers a variety of discounts, but military is not one of them. When my mother asked if it was an option, we were able to get in for free which was great and so appreciated. 2) they had some contemporary art exhibits that were pretty cool and that we enjoyed. Cons: 1) we wished we chose an audio tour option or had a guide so we could better appreciate the exhibit. It was unclear outside of reading the guide book what exactly you were looking at/experiencing. 2) this is so random but were the bathrooms real?? They are built into the maps but we thought everything was to not be touched but people were using them??

It's his own work that is displayed but he also references artists work such as the famous Banksy and other artists. A friend told me that the documentary, Exit through the Gift Shop, is connected to this museum. I have yet to watch but will do so to gain more understanding. Apparently, it was free museum day because there were hosts at the door greeting and letting visitors in. That was nice. It wasn't too busy but a good crowd to where I had to wait for my turn to take photos. It's three levels including the rooftop where more artwork is held and a view overlooking Beverly Hills. They also have a gift shop with unique items for purchase. I bought a cutesy pen with an engraved quote on it. To add, I was instantly moved by the creativity and effort they put into this museum. It brought a lot of inspiration. The art work gave me ideas of how I would want a part of my home to look like. It was a fun visit and would recommend for anyone wanting to dig into their imagination and enjoys art. I am also a sucker for anything that brings out the inner child in me and this place fed it well. Thank you, Mr. Brainwash and staff. Ps. The museum might be closed now. Unsure if it's temporary or permanently but still wanted to share my experience. I visited it in January of this year.

However, these hours are contingent on the gardener, who may not show up or may come late / leave early. If you're coming from afar, it might be a good idea to email the owner at gardenofoz@me.com and ask about that particular week. I found the email address on a webpage about the garden. I emailed at the start of the week when I wanted to come but heard back the following week. Turns out the gardener had car trouble so the garden was closed the previous week. The owner did email me back again letting me know the garden would be open the following week, which was nice of her. So, if you're driving from afar, reach out to confirm. Don't come at the last minute just in case the gardener leaves early. It's not the easiest to access but hey, this is a private home and we're lucky to have any access to it. This is interesting for anyone who loves folk art, mosaics, outsider art, etc. It's a large space with a lot to look at. No photography is allowed. Parking is on the street.

Membership in the Academy is open to qualified filmmakers around the world. The Academy was originally founded as a company union to medicate labor disputes and improve the film industry's image in 1927 nearly 100 years ago! Louis B. Mayer, the studio head of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) founded the Academy. Who doesn't just love the golden Oscar statue/trophy! I've enjoyed countless episodes of Joan Rivers and her daughter's (Melissa Rivers) various shows about the fashion aspect of the Oscars. Fashion Police was one of my favorite Rivers' shows! I miss Joan asking "who are you wearing?" There's nothing quite like the Oscars Red Carpet and seeing all the stars all decked out and stopping for a few questions from reports and posing for photographs! It's fun to see the outfits, makeup, accessories, jewelry, and hair styles! Thanks, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, for years of Oscars entertainment!
