LACMA stands for Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art. Located on Wilshire Boulevard and is on "Museum Row" in Los Angeles. Established in its current location in 1965 and it is the largest art museum in the western United States. The museum’s name is a misnomer‚ for its collection contains roughly 130‚000 pieces of art and the collection spans centuries‚ although their focus is on contemporary art. The museum provides another facet to the already robust multi-cultural make-up of Southern California

The trip to the Nelson-Atkins Museum was an insightful and eye opening experience. It was my second trip to a large art museum‚ the first one being The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Though I am not one you would call an art connoisseur‚ I do take interest in specific art pieces. I often find myself wondering what the artist was thinking about when painting or constructing a piece of work. I wonder what emotions they might have been going through or if someone unknown inspired them
