a visit to the LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Arts
Honey, I shrunk Z somehow she ended up in the spaghetti.
Z with her friend Willa contributing to the art wall in the Boones Children's Gallery. The Theme has been Korean and Chinese art. They had fun practicing their brush strokes with "Asian Brush Painting".
Afterwards we were ready for a little souvenir shopping* at the gallery store and some lunch from the "food court" stationed out on Whilshire Blvd aka Foodtrucks.

just a random shot of the architecture on our walk over to the "Metropolis II" exhibit by Chris Burden.
it was my second time seeing this exhibit but this time in a still stand.
a very different experience then seeing this kinetic sculpture of a modern day city come to live with energy and the dynamic view of traffic pulsating through it. however it was still worth it.

make sure to climb up the stairs to get an eagle eyes view. it is just AMAZING ! for anyone i'd say age 1-100.
it brought back great memories of my brothers and i putting up the hot wheels or matchbox racetrack. building Lego buildings and wooden block tunnels around the track and trying to negotiate day by day with our mom how much longer we could leave it up until she would be "allowed" to vacuum again. good times !!
when in action it is a bit on the noisy side but every bit worth it to see this exhibit that apparently took 5 months to built work like a Swiss watch.
Chris Burden is also the creator of
Urban Light, a sculpture compromised of over 200 vintage lights originating from Southern California that quickly became a landmark for L.A.
By this time my phone was low in battery and believe it or not it had no photo memory left. Therefor i unfortunately don't have a picture of the "urban lights" to share with you however search it in google and you will find countless pictures.
Once again the LACMA was a great experience never failing in inspiring and reminding us to try out new things, to see things from a different angle and most importantly have fun doing so.
