We serve you your favorite Filipino dishes along with a great dining experience.\nWe have been part of the Eagle Rock community since 2013. Visit us soon. \nFilipino food has been championed as “the next big thing” for years now by chefs\, authors\, and TV hosts — which\, dirty little secret\, just means that it’s the next cuisine to get elevated and sold at a high price. Declaring a culture’s food as the haute new ticket\, as a lot of Filipino chefs will tell you\, is usually hasty and reductive. While it’s undeniable to ignore the trendy appeal of dishes like pork sisig and oxtail kare kare\, it’s also interesting that Filipino food exists in this curious grey area where it’s being elevated before most people have even grasped the traditional concepts and flavors. \n\n\n \n\nHours\nMonday – Saturday: 10:00 am – 8:30 pm\nSunday: 10:00am – 8:00pm\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nwww.eventbrite.com/e/motherland-free-stand-up-comedy\n \n  \nFind more URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/motherland-free-stand-up-comedy/2024-08-21/ LOCATION:Kusina Filipina\, 4157 Eagle Rock Boulevard\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90065\, United States CATEGORIES:Comedy Shows,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles,Spaces & Places ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Motherland-Comedy-Show_4x2.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T220000 DTSTAMP:20240201T064931Z CREATED:20240201T064421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240201T064931Z UID:10042215-1724270400-1724277600@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:Trivia Night at Brennan's DESCRIPTION:EVERY WEDNESDAY – Marina Del Rey\nUnleash Your Inner Brainiac and Win Big at Brennan’s Head Games Trivia Night!

A fantastic group of artists & dancers who work with LED Hula Hoops and other LED apparatus they can spin\, toss\, throw in the air\, etc. \n \n Very friendly and talented peeps.  \n \nCelebrating our love of  the FLOW at Glow Flow Santa Monica!\n\n\n\n\nHow to Capture the Glow Flow Moment\nIf spin isn’t your thing\, how about photography. Here are different ways to shoot Glow Flow Santa Monica. \nGOLDEN HOUR / BLUE HOUR\nYou can shoot available light for images of the artists. \nSLOW SHUTTER SPEED\nAs Glow Flow gets dark\, you can use a slow shutter speed to let the moving LED devices draw amazing “spirograph” shapes with light against the night sky. \nSLOW SYNC\nYou can combine both elements with slow sync or rear sync. A long shutter speed captures traces from LED Hula Hoops and then your on-or-off-camera flash lights the artist. \nTHE BEST FLASH?\nI haven’t had the best results with built-in pop-up flash. I like using an external flash in the hot-shoe. At Glow Flow\, We often say that having flash off the hot-shoe produces better lighting. For me\, in this case\, I think there’s so much going on\, that hot-shoe mounted flash works well. You could bring a light stand and battery powered strobe which might look great but seems like a lot of gear. \nTRIPOD?\nIf you use flash\, it will freeze the artist\, and the point-light-sources of the LEDs effectively freeze themselves\, so you can shoot this handheld. However\, you will get crisper images if you use a tripod. \nBRACKET\, BRACKET\, BRACKET!\nAs you can imagine\, dialing in your exposure can be a bit complicated! Plan to try a variety of different shutter speeds to see what works with the LEDs. And different flash intensities to balance the illumination on the artist with the LED traces. \n\nSouth Beach Park\nis located at 110 Pier Ave\, on the border between Venice Beach and Santa Monica.  \n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nfacebook.com/veniceglowflow\n \n\n\n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n  URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/glow-flow-santa-monica-beach/2024-08-21/ LOCATION:South Beach Park\, 3400 Barnard Way\, Santa Monica\, CA\, 90401\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts & Crafts,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Kids,Fun 4 Singles,Fun 4 Teens,Fun 4 the Family,Sports & Recreation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GlowFlow_4x2.jpg GEO:33.9994715;-118.4844043 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=South Beach Park 3400 Barnard Way Santa Monica CA 90401 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3400 Barnard Way:geo:-118.4844043,33.9994715 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T193000 DTSTAMP:20221206T182740Z CREATED:20221206T182740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221206T182740Z UID:10009255-1724263200-1724268600@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:lululemon Pasadena Run club DESCRIPTION:EVERY WEDNESDAY- Pasadena\nLululemon Pasadena invites you to come run with us\, every Wednesday at 6:00pm.

The Fowler enhances understanding and appreciation of the diverse peoples\, cultures\, and religions of the world through dynamic exhibitions\, publications\, and public programs\, informed by interdisciplinary approaches and the perspectives of the cultures represented. \nAlso featured is the work of international contemporary artists presented within the complex frameworks of politics\, culture and social action. \nFowler Museum at UCLA provides exciting\, informative and thought-provoking exhibitions and events for the UCLA community and the people of greater Los Angeles and beyond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAreas of the Collection\n\n\n\n\nARTS OF AFRICA AND THE AFRICAN DIASPORA\n \nOne of the largest and finest in the United States\, and one of the top twenty African collections worldwide\, this collection offers a superb representation of the arts of many African nations\, including objects from Senegal\, Nigeria\, Ghana\, Cameroon\, Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire)\, Kenya\, Zambia\, and South Africa. The Yoruba collection alone is one of the three finest in the world. It contains a spectacular array of beaded objects\, including a majestic throne\, elaborate chiefly gowns\, and sophisticated divination regalia. \nA collection of post-apartheid election materials and contemporary South African art is being developed\, as are a number of collections of popular urban arts from countries including Tanzania and Muslim Senegal. Recently\, more than 400 textiles made by the Kuba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo were gifted by the Christensen Foundation. \nThe collection represents some of the finest examples of men’s embroidered raffia pile cloths and women’s appliqué cloths. This collection complements already significant holdings of West African textiles from countries such as Mali and Ghana\, including kente and adinkra cloth and Asafo flags. The museum also has significant holdings of arts from the African Americas\, notably arts of Haitian Vodou\, Brazil and Suriname. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nARTS OF THE AMERICAS\n \nThese holdings include a comprehensive collection of pre-Columbian ceramics with the best representations from West Mexico\, the Valley of Mexico\, and pre-Columbian Peru (with special strengths in the art of the Moche). The Fowler also possesses a cohesive collection of Guatemalan costumes; an extensive collection of Mexican clothing; textiles of Peru; and a comprehensive representation of field-collected market materials from Michoacan\, Mexico. Complementing the pre-Columbian collections are field collections of the Warao and Yecuana Indians of the Orinoco Delta of Venezuela and contemporary Latin American popular arts including Mexican trees of life\, Day of the Dead figures\, and masks from Metepec\, Oaxaca\, Michoacan\, Jalisco\, Peubla\, and Guanajuato. \nNative American materials from the U.S. and Canada are a small but significant part of the collection. Materials from the United States and Canada include well-known Northwest Coast material\, as well as a notable cross section of late nineteenth-century Inuit art and material culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nARTS OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC \n \n  \nThe Fowler Museum at UCLA collections from Insular Southeast Asia\, including Indonesia\, the Philippines\, Malaysia\, and aboriginal Taiwan\, are among the strongest in the United States. The Indonesian and Philippine textiles reinforce the Fowler Museum’s standing as a major repository for the textile arts. Also included are significant collections of sculptural material from Sumatra\, Borneo\, Sulawesi\, and Luzon\, puppetry from Java and Bali\, basketry from Indonesia and Philippines\, and metalwork from the Philippines. The primary strength of the Pacific collections lies in materials from Papua New Guinea\, especially the Papuan Gulf\, Trobriand Islands\, Sepik River\, and Maprik region. Australia and Polynesia are also represented by sizeable collections\, including 45 rare Maori cloaks. \nThe collections from mainland Asia are smaller but growing rapidly\, due to current collecting priorities. A collection of betel-chewing paraphernalia\, representing several countries in South and Southeast Asia\, is considered one of the finest in the world. Other holdings include textiles from Bhutan\, Pakistan\, India and Japan\, baskets and decorative arts from Japan\, puppetry from China\, Thailand\, India\, and Turkey\, and art and artifacts from Nepal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nARCHAEOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS\n \nThe Fowler Museum at UCLA also serves as a repository for archaeological collections acquired during research conducted by UCLA faculty\, staff\, students\, and other professional archaeologists. Documentation of the collections includes artifact catalogs\, excavation notes\, maps\, and photographs. These collections serve primarily as an archive for teaching and research. The Museum is compliant with guidelines mandates by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and has been signaled out by the State of California for its exemplary efforts. \nArchaeological collection areas include: \nCalifornia \nCollections from approximately 1100 sites\, mostly in Southern California. \nSouthwest \nSignificant collections from the Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition of 1933-1938 and several Parowan Fremont sites in Utah excavated in the 1950’s\, and other Anasazi and Hohokam sites. \nMexico \nIncludes objects from 218 sites\, mostly in western and central Mexico. \nSudan \nThe Nubian/Egyptian fortress site at Askut is the source of approximately 60\,000 artifacts excavated by UCLA archaeologist Alexander Badawy in conjunction with the Aswan High Dam Salvage Campaign\, 1962-1964. \nOld World stone tool collection \nIncludes tools from Europe and the Middle East. \n\n\nMUSEUM HOURS\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is FREE \nMonday: closed\nTuesday: closed\nWednesday: 12 – 8pm\nThursday: 12 – 5pm\nFriday: 12 – 5pm\nSaturday: 12 – 5pm\nSunday: 12 – 5pm \n\n\n\n\n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nfowler.ucla.edu\n \n\n  \nFind more URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/fowler-museum-at-ucla-2-2022-02-02/2024-08-21/ LOCATION:Fowler Museum at UCLA\, 308 Charles E Young Dr N\,\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90024\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts & Crafts,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Kids,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles,Fun 4 Teens,Fun 4 the Family,Museums ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Fowler_4x2.jpg GEO:34.0729489;-118.4431764 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Fowler Museum at UCLA 308 Charles E Young Dr N Los Angeles CA 90024 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=308 Charles E Young Dr N\,:geo:-118.4431764,34.0729489 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T170000 DTSTAMP:20230308T004334Z CREATED:20210421T063623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230308T004334Z UID:10020181-1724238000-1724259600@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:The Broad Museum DESCRIPTION:FREE TUE – SUN- Bunker Hill\, DTLA\nThe Broad Museum presents two of Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms are in the Broad collection.

Fusing Alice in Wonderland with the Duchampian tradition of the readymade\, Artist Robert Therrien constructs a doppelganger from an everyday object\, both displaying his visual wit and actualizing literary or imaginative fantasy in three-dimensional space. The table exudes an extraordinary aura\, compelling one to walk underneath the table and conjuring the physical memory of being under the table of one’s childhood home. Complicated and powerful\, the work offers fresh ideas of what a table\, sculpture\, and memory can mean. \n  \n  \n \nUsing the recognizable form of a balloon twisted into the shape of a dog\, Koons has frozen a moment in time\, exaggerating both scale and material. \nBalloon Dog (Blue) is literal and abstract.

TUES – SUNDAY- Exposition Park\nThe California African American Museum (CAAM) focuses on enrichment and education on the cultural heritage and history of African Americans with a focus on California and western United States. \nAdmission is free to all visitors. The California African American Museum’s mission is to research\, collect\, preserve\, and interpret for public enrichment the history\, art\, and culture of African Americans with an emphasis on California and the western United States. \n \nCalifornia African American Museum (CAAM) Temporarily Closed For Repair\n  \nCAAM’s permanent collection consists of over 4\,000 objects ranging from the 1800s to the present. It encompasses paintings\, photographs\, film\, sculpture\, historical documents\, and artifacts\, and it spans nineteenth-century landscape paintings to modern artworks to contemporary mixed-media reflections on cultural and political events. \n \n  \nThe Museum’s first acquisitions included a bronze bust of civil rights activist Dr. Mary Mcleod Bethune by artist Richmond Barthé and a sculpture by artist Maren Hassinger\, then at the start of her career. These laid the perfect groundwork for CAAM’s mandate to assemble a comprehensive\, thoughtful\, and wide-reaching collection. \n \n  \nCAAM’s deepest holdings include art made or connected to African Americans in California and the western United States. However\, the Museum also has significant works of contemporary art from the African diaspora (including Haiti\, Brazil\, and Jamaica)\, as well as traditional African art from Western\, Central\, and Sub-Saharan Africa. CAAM aims to represent the diverse contributions of African Americans in the United States\, but also to interpret how the past has affected identity in the present. \nCalifornia African American Museum (CAAM) Temporarily Closed For Repair\nToday\, CAAM oversees\, exhibits\, and conserves a rapidly growing collection. Each quarter\, curators review the current holdings and decide as a committee on future acquisitions. We view our collection as a living body — constantly evolving\, growing\, and reflecting the world in which we live. \n \n  \nSome examples of CAAM’s collection include the Walter Burrell Collection of audio recordings of Burrell’s interviews with African American celebrities\, broadcast by a local radio station in the early 1970s; the oral histories of Celes King\, who was both a local civil rights activist as well as a former Tuskegee airman; and selections from the collection of visual artist John Outterbridge. \n  \n \nHours\nTuesdays – Saturdays: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.\nSundays: 11:00 a.m.-5:00p.m.\nMondays: Closed \nCalifornia African American Museum (CAAM) Temporarily Closed For Repair\n\n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \ncaamuseum.org\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n  URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/caam-2-5/2024-08-21/ LOCATION:California African American Museum\, 600 State Drive\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90037\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts & Crafts,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Kids,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles,Fun 4 Teens,Fun 4 the Family,Museums ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/CAAM_4x2.jpeg GEO:34.0159415;-118.2836283 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=California African American Museum 600 State Drive Los Angeles CA 90037 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=600 State Drive:geo:-118.2836283,34.0159415 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T163000 DTSTAMP:20210306T231020Z CREATED:20210306T230544Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210306T231020Z UID:10005321-1724234400-1724257800@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:FREE COMPUTER SUPPORT DESCRIPTION:LA PUBLIC LIBRARY- free with your Library Card\nCybernauts are trained computer aides that offer technology assistance\, computer support\, and mobile device support. \nConnect with a Cybernaut to: \n\nLearn how to use and borrow LAPL’s e-media\nSet up an email account\nOperate your tablet\, desktop\, or phone\nUse social media\nFind online information\nLearn about online safety\nLearn basic computer skills\n\nFor questions regarding library accounts\, including new applications and renewals please use our Ask a Librarian service. \n \nGet help with your tech needs\, connect with a Cybernaut\nConéctate con un Cybernaut y obtén ayuda con tus preguntas sobre tecnología\n  \n\n \nCall Us\nLlámanos al 213-228-7160 \n\n \nText Us\nEnvíanos un mensaje de texto al 213-510-2898 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChat with Us\n\n\nMonday – Friday\, 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. \nLunes a viernes de 10 a.m. a 4:30 p.m. \n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nlapl.org/cybernauts\n\n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/cybernauts/2024-08-21/ LOCATION:ALL LOS ANGELES PUBLIC LIBRARIES CATEGORIES:Education,Free With You Library Card,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Kids,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles,Fun 4 Teens,Fun 4 the Family,Online/ Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Cybernauts_4x2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240821T103000 DTSTAMP:20210326T212212Z CREATED:20171112T022708Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210326T212212Z UID:10003107-1724234400-1724236200@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:Story Time Online DESCRIPTION:EVERY TUESDAY THRU FRIDAY- @10am Youtube & Facebook Live Stream \n\n\n\n\nOnline Storytime for Kids is brought to you each week by the Los Angeles Public Library.

In fact\, they tend to have better mobility overall.\nVR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors\, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.\nPlaying VR games\, which often resemble actual real-world experiences\, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.\nAccording to recent research\, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.\nVR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.\nVR games are a great way to reduce stress and depression in children. Immersing in a VR game can result in short and long-term mood boost that helps them relax and unwind\, decreasing the levels of stress a person may be experiencing.\n\n  \n \n\nCome to The Inglewood Public Library and “check out” their new selection of video games\, for Playstation 4\, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One\, that you can borrow\, just like you would borrow a book? \n \nDid you finish your homework?

An avid outdoorsman from Telluride\, CO\, Trevor was left searching for an exercise to replace the running\, climbing\, and other physically challenging activities that were no longer accessible to him. He found yoga and was hooked. \nTraveling for his technology business\, Trevor practiced various yoga disciplines at yoga studios across the country and found an opportunity to make yoga dynamic\, challenging\, and convenient. \nIn 2002\, Trevor opened the first CorePower Yoga studio on Grant Street in downtown Denver\, CO\, offering a proprietary form of athletic\, heated yoga in modern\, welcoming\, spa-like studios. With six teachers\, including Trevor\, teaching four classes per day\, it took several arduous months before classes began to fill up. But they did. And it wasn’t long before people were talking about this new yoga. \n\nOUR MISSION\n\n\nTo show the world the incredible life-changing things that happen when you root for an intensely physical workout in the mindfulness of yoga. \n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nwww.facebook.com/theculversteps\n \n  \nFind more URL:https://www.free2funla.com/event/yoga-on-the-steps/2024-08-20/ LOCATION:Culver Steps\, 9300 Culver Boulevard\, Culver City\, CA\, 90232\, United States CATEGORIES:-Culver City,Fun 4 Couples,Fun 4 Seniors,Fun 4 Singles,Health and Fitness,Spaces & Places ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.free2funla.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Culver-City-Yoga-on-the-Steps_4x2.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240820T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240820T210000 DTSTAMP:20211019T091608Z CREATED:20211010T220641Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211019T091608Z UID:10010230-1724158800-1724187600@www.free2funla.com SUMMARY:Ride The Trolley at The Grove DESCRIPTION:OPEN DAILY- The Grove\n\nTake a ride on our double-decker trolley!

After all\, the museum was originally designed to house his fine collection of old-master paintings and drawings\, as well as works on paper by Honoré Daumier and his 19th-century contemporaries. \n\n\n\n\n\nBut in the ensuing decades\, as the art world has continued to evolve\, so has Los Angeles — and so has the Hammer Museum\, which is now a part of the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture. In 1994\, UCLA assumed management and operations of the museum\, and the Hammer kept its original purpose but also expanded its mission. Today\, the Hammer has a wide reputation for innovation and for showcasing new artists. \n  \n\nNew Contemporary Gallery\n\n  \n“L.A. has become a hotbed of contemporary art and artists\,” says Ann Philbin\, the museum’s director since 1999\, “and the Hammer has become a premier institution where they are shown.” \n  \n\n\n4th-Floor-Offices\n\n  \nUnder Philbin’s leadership\, the museum has expanded its collections and programs\, including establishing the Hammer Projects series of exhibitions and installations featuring local\, national and international emerging artists. It also launched the Made in L.A. biennial\, now in its fourth edition. Through these and other innovations\, the Hammer has quadrupled its attendance to about 250\,000 a year. \n  \nLindbrook Terrace\n  \nMeanwhile\, Occidental Petroleum\, which occupied the adjoining building\, relocated to Houston\, Texas. So the Hammer has begun a major\, multiyear expansion that will take the museum far into the 21st century. \nEarlier this year\, the Hammer announced a $180 million capital campaign. Almost half of those funds will be used to expand gallery and other public spaces\, while the rest will go toward exhibitions\, programming and an endowment. The museum has already raised more than $130 million\, including $30 million from L.A. philanthropists Lynda and Stewart ’59\, J.D. ’62 Resnick and $20 million from Hammer board chair Marcy Carsey. \n  \n  \nAnnex\n  \nThe renovations and additions being designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture\, who was commissioned in 2000 to create the museum’s 2003 master plan\, include: \n• A newly designed entrance at Wilshire and Westwood boulevards to maximize the museum’s visual presence at one of the nation’s busiest intersections. In the coming years\, the museum will also benefit from a planned Metro Purple Line station across Wilshire. \n• More than 10\,000 square feet of additional exhibition space for contemporary art. \n• New permanent collection galleries and a study room for the Grunwald Center Collection. \n• 20\,000 square feet of enhanced public spaces\, including a new restaurant. \n• A new and more accessible Hammer Store. \n  \n  \n2nd Floor B Side\n  \nIn all\, the expansion will provide 60 percent more gallery space for exhibitions. The museum will remain open during construction\, and admission will continue to be free. “We’re accessible to everyone\, and that keeps people coming back\,” Philbin says. “L.A. has been growing as one of the world’s most exciting cultural creative communities\, and the museum has grown alongside it.” \n  \n\n  \nBookstore\nHISTORY OF THE HAMMER MUSEUM\nThe Hammer Museum opened to the public in November 1990. Founded by Dr. Armand Hammer\, former Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation\, the Museum was designed by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. Financed by Occidental\, the Museum was built adjacent to the Corporation’s international headquarters in Westwood. At that time\, the Museum featured galleries for Dr. Hammer’s collections — old master paintings and drawings\, and a collection of works on paper by Honore Daumier and his contemporaries — as well as galleries for traveling exhibitions. Dr. Hammer passed away in December 1990\, three weeks after the opening of the Museum leaving many spaces unfinished. \nIn 1992\, the Museum began negotiations with its neighbor\, University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, to assume the management and operations of the institution. In April 1994\, the partnership with UCLA was finalized and the following year the University relocated its collections and the staff of the Wight Art Gallery and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts to the Hammer. The Museum also assumed responsibility for the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden\, located at the north end of the UCLA campus. \nHenry Hopkins\, then director of the Wight gallery and professor in the Department of Art\, became director of the Museum until his retirement in 1998. In 1999 Ann Philbin was named director and has developed a strong and original institutional identity and built a national and international reputation for thematic contemporary exhibitions\, scholarly historical exhibitions\, and contemporary artists’ projects. During her tenure the Hammer has formed a Hammer Contemporary Collection which now holds over 2\,000 artworks. In addition\, Philbin has overseen substantial renovations to the museum’s building\, including the completion of the 300-seat Billy Wilder Theater and museum café. With Philbin’s direction\, the museum instituted the internationally acclaimed Hammer Projects\, a series of more than one hundred contemporary exhibitions and installations featuring local\, national\, and international emerging artists. Philbin also created a series of dynamic public programs which are core to the Hammer’s identity and regularly feature many of the most influential authors\, artists\, and creative thinkers of our time. \n \n\nHours\nThe museum is open every day\, except Mondays\, July 4\, Thanksgiving\, Christmas\, and New Year’s Day. \nMonday: Closed\nTuesday – Friday: 11:00 a.m.-8:00p.m.\nSaturday & Sunday: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. \nAdmission to all exhibitions and public programs is free and open to the public.
