    A local small art museum filled with diverse, amazing, & unique artwork by talented local artists!…read moreWorth a quick 15-30 minute visit if you are in the area. Free admission! Parking is unique and is along the middle of the street as well as the sidewalks. It's great to come here every few times a year and see new and fresh exhibits. We always come back because of that! The place is well-taken care of with friendly staff and a lot of side events go on as well! Make sure to research if they are open and ensure they are not in the middle of constructing/preparing new exhibits. Always feels good to appreciate the local arts!

    Museum of Art & History or MOAH is in a modern, ferro-concrete buildIng with wide expanse of plate…read moreglass & aluminum framing. It has a generic institutional look so typical since the last fourth of the 20th century.  So much clear glass must trap huge amounts of heat from rays of the intense summer sun which must mean much pollution creatIng energy has to be expended to cool its interior. Not exactly a building meeting zero emission standards in the new age of global warming.  January - April 2022: Exhibition of Works by Marc Steven Greenfield is a must-see. It addresses in a very deft way racism as witnessed and experienced by a Black Man in America in a new, sophisticated, novel light. He raises questions about race, equality, inequality, retribution, and possible reconciliation. His mastery in many different styles proves that he is a meister artist capable of manipulating the media into thought provoking questions often done by confronting and "owning" negative, insulting stereotypes of Blacks on canvas.   In another method, he places Blacks in the style of Catholic icons of the Virgin & Baby Jesus and the Pietà where Virgin Mary cradles the dead Jesus. In the background there are scenes of racist Nazi's receiving just retribution for their horrendous acts against humanity.  There is even an iconic portrait of Yasukè (yah soo keh), who was a Sub-Saharan Black African, who served as a high ranking Samurai in 16th century Japan during the Warring States period, in high Japanese military regalia.    Marc Steven Greenfield is well informed about history, culture, religion, politics, race and synthesizes a powerful brew that if we drink it, it gives us food for thought....Why are we so hung up on the color of our skin?  It's another indictment that we humans are the strangest of all animals.  Be sure to see Mr. Greenfield's interview in the small side projection room. The second floor is dedicated to "What would you say?",  Activist Graphics from LACMA: It's a melange of graphics by various artists depicting Disco Singer Sylvester as Gay or even alluding at a Trans Woman. Black Man in white Ku Klux Klan dress is tongue in cheek, sarcastic humour ridiculing white supremacy.  Series of repeating prints of a woman with the title of "I will not be Assimilated." as though she is threatened by the Borg which, in fact, is our own conformist society.  Esoteric reference to Royal Crown Hair Dressing and showing a woman wearing a dress decorated with a woman showing a big butt seems humourous in line with rap songs idolizing ample derrière.  Another great thing about MOAH is that it's free. You only need to give out your resident zip code. Great way to spend an afternoon creating new, cerebral, synaptic connections.  There are two other associated museums nearby:  Western Hotel Museum and Cedar Center for the Arts Museum. Times and dates vary so be sure to call.

    Musical Road - The Musical Road in Lancaster, CA. It is a fail, unfortunately. :-(

    Such a fun roadside surprise! If you're in the Lancaster…read morearea, the Musical Road is definitely a cool little stop. It's literally a stretch of G Avenue that plays music as you drive over it--yes, actual music from the grooves in the pavement. It's quirky, quick, and one of those "why not?" detours that always makes people smile. Super easy to find, plenty of room to pull over before or after, and it's a fun way to add a little adventure to your day. Definitely worth checking out at least once!

    This road is actually named Honda "Civic Musical Road"…read more This is a unique musical road located in Lancaster on Avenue G between 30th & 40th Streets West. It spent less than one month in its' original spot in a residential area before being moved. The sound carried for about a half a mile away and nearby residents didn't appreciate it. There are grooves in the road that is supposed to play sounds making music when you drive at least 55 mph. The grooves look like a long version of the shorter rumble strips which you see running along the sides of the roads that let you know when you're veering off the road. ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/musical-road-lancaster?select=Esbtlv1NtNa_ifaPenUa-Q ) Make sure you are heading West in the far left lane and driving at least 55mph. No matter how you drive it, the musical tones are off. It's out of tune to say the least. The spacing of the grooves were installed correctly, but the width were NOT, so they didn't get the details completely right. Sad thing is is that they used the same exact plans twice (original location & here). They didn't bother to correct their mistakes! Anyways, if you want to attempt to hear the music, you should hear a bit of the finale of the William Tell Overture. All in all, it's a fun little activity that I insisted on having hubby drive over multiple times! **Take a side trip: There is another better sounding & lengthier musical road called R. Lee Ermey nearby in Palmdale. It plays the "Marine Corps Hymn".
