Today this location hosts the museum’s main galleries\, Lemonade café\, the flagship location of the MOCA Store\, and staff offices. \nmore info at: Grand Ave \n\n\n\n\n\n\n250 S Grand Ave \nLos Angeles\, CA 90012 \n\n\nGet directions\n\n\n\n\n  \n \nThe Geffen Contemporary at MOCA\n152 North Central Avenue\nLos Angeles\, CA 90012 \nA former police car warehouse in L.A.’s Little Tokyo Historic District\, renovated by the noted California architect Frank Gehry\, The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (formerly The Temporary Contemporary) opened in 1983.

The land art movement first appeared in the late 1960s and served to challenge the location\, material\, size\, and temporal existence of a work of art. Double Negative consists of two long straight trenches\, 30 feet wide and 50 feet deep\, cut into the “tabletop” of Mormon Mesa\, displacing 240\,000 tons of desert sandstone. The cuts face each other across an indentation in the plateaus’ scalloped perimeter\, forming a continuous image\, a thick linear volume that bridges and combines the “negative” space between them. \nmore info at: Double Negative \n\nAdmission to Double Negative by artist Michael Heizer is always free.\n\nHours\nMonday: 11:00 a.m.-6:00p.m.\nTuesday: Closed\nWednesday: 11:00 a.m.-6:00p.m.\nThursday: 11:00 a.m.-8:00p.m.\nFriday: 11:00 a.m.-6:00p.m.\nSaturday – Sunday: 11:00 a.m.-5:00p.m. \n  \nGeneral Admission: Free\nSpecial exhibitions: $18\nMembers: Free\nChildren under 12: Free\nSeniors and students: $10 \nSpecial exhibitions are free every Thursday\, 5-8pm.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nwww.moca.org\n \n  \n\n\nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:GoodPup Webinar: Enrichment: Keeping our Dogs Happy and Preventing Problems
DESCRIPTION:In this session we will how to provide enrichment to dogs both at home and in the shelter environment.\n\n\nThe GoodPup Webinar Series focuses on dog behavior topics designed specifically to help anyone who works at rescues and shelters. \nOne common problem we see is new dogs not getting enough mental or physical stimulation to satisfy their normal needs or what is known as “enrichment”. Without proper enrichment a dog can become bored\, anxious and stressed. This can lead to unwanted and dangerous behaviors\, such as chewing\, barking\, and digging\, destructive behaviors\, and even evasive behaviors both inside and outside the home. \nThe goal of our Webinar is to bring you some tips and tricks on how to build enrichment into your dog’s life and to leave you with some steps that help ensure your pup is set up for success! \nAbout the Presenter: \nKait Hembree VTS (Behavior)\, CVT\, KPA CTP \nHead of Training at GoodPup \nKait Hembree and her team designed the GoodPup Training Program using the latest scientific research and positive reinforcement training techniques. Kait’s career in Animal Behavior spans decades. She has extensive experience working with behavior modification both in and outside veterinary practices and animal shelters. She regularly consults as a dog behavior expert across the country.

SUMMARY:Learn to Fight like a Jedi Knight
DESCRIPTION:EVERY WEDNESDAY- Mike’s Bike Shop\nLearn to Fight like a Jedi Knight. Lightspeed Saber Battling! The world’s fastest light-based fencing\, is happening every Wednesday Night @ Mike’s Bike Shop- 5507 West Pico Blvd\, at Beverlywil Dr\, Century City. @ 7:30pm to 9:30pm. \nCONTACT TONY FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION\,\n\nContact Tony for the latest information. www.facebook.com/tony.zaldua \n  \n\n\n\nLearn to Fight like a Jedi Knight- BEGIN YOUR TRAINING HERE!\nStep by step instructions for individuals \nwww.LightSpeed-Saber.Com/get-started \nwww.twitch.tv/lightspeedsaber \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile you don’t have to do everything in this guide\, it’s a good way to begin\, especially if there is already an existing team near you. (Please note that\, due to COVID-19\, teams are in various states of operation at this time.) \n  \n\n\n\n\nSTEP 1 – CONNECT TO US\n\n\n\n\n\nWe do different things in different places around the web\, from our Instagram to our YouTube channel\, where you’ll find the Lightspeed Saber Rogue Series\, to our TikTok where you can enjoy short snippets from the show! But the place to talk to us is our international Facebook group. \n  \n \nSTEP 2 – CONNECT TO OTHERS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind individuals or teams near you! \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTEP 3 – GET A SABER\nYou don’t technically need an actual LED saber to start learning but it helps to familiarize yourself early. We recommend the Rey-class for your first Lightspeed Saber. Check the weapon class page for regulations to make sure the hilt you purchase is Lightspeed legal. \nNote that you do not need a Lightspeed blade to start practicing moves. You only need one once you begin competing. The standard blade that comes with your purchase should be fine for the time being. \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTEP 4 – LEARN BASIC MOVES AND CONCEPTS\nWe have tons of free information available for Lightspeed Saber fencing. But if you’re practicing alone\, you may want to learn our sequences. This is a growing library of technical exercises that help you fine tune your technique without a partner. You can do this on your own and evaluate yourself\, or you can enroll in our program\, where we’ll evaluate you to make sure you’re doing everything right. You can even get certified to evaluate others. \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTEP 5 – GET EQUIPMENT\nTo do Lightspeed Saber fencing you need to be properly equipped. This activity is dangerous. Make sure that you have everything listed on this page. And don’t forget about a mouth and nose covering to protect yourself and others from spreading disease. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTEP 6 – LEARN AND PRACTICE BASIC SPARRING TECHNIQUES & STRATEGY\nOur YouTube channel is probably the best source of information for practical Lightspeed Saber fencing. Look for our instructionals and commentaries. \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTEP 7 – LEARN THE RULES OF COMPETITIVE LIGHTSPEED SABER\nLearn the rules of Lightspeed Saber fencing so you’re ready for your first official duel. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nSTEP 8 – COMPETE!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRemember\, practice is practice and competition is practice. Nothing gets you learning faster than a tournament. \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTEP 9 – GO OFFICIAL\nGet a competition membership and start moving up the ladder in your local area. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTEP ????\nBecome the #1 Lightspeed Saber fencer in the world? Rule the galaxy? Meet your destiny? Become one with the force? Who knows what the future holds? \n  \n© 2021 Lightspeed Saber League LLC. All rights reserved. Lightspeed Saber League is not associated with Disney or Lucasfilm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLightspeed Saber fencing\, like all combat-sports\, is inherently dangerous and never completely safe. Always wear safety equipment. Fence at your own risk. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nMEETUP DATES/TIMES ARE ALWAYS TENTATIVE. THIS CALENDAR IS AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED. MEETUP EVENTS MAY BE CANCELLED DUE TO HOLIDAYS AND SCHEDULE CONFLICTS.

SUMMARY:Saber-toothed Tigers at LaBrea Tar Pits & Museum
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGo on the hunt and discover more about our very own Mid-city kitty as you track down saber-toothed cats around the museum and La Brea Tar Pits.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPicture yourself prowling La Brea Tar Pits and show us your best saber-toothed cat pose. Take pictures throughout your scavenger hunt and share them on social with #SabertoothedSummer. \nSaber-toothed cats were the first fossils discovered at La Brea Tar Pits and are some of the most common fossils found in the asphalt. 7-inch canines tend to stand out! These killer kitties prowled Los Angeles until the end of the last Ice Age\, and–don’t be alarmed–there are a couple of big ones right near the entrance! \nStone Cold Cats\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 of 2 \n\n\n\n\nprevious slide \n\n\n\nnext slide \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThey’re hugging! Or maybe not? Saber-toothed cats would have been excellent grapplers. Learn how we know that inside\, but first snap a selfie and be glad these cats are occupied or capture yourself doing your best grapple with somebody (ask first!). \n\n\n\n\n\nBut what about these other big cats? On the left of our affectionate Smilodons\, you’ll notice another pair of statues. These are one of the other big cats found at the Tar Pits: Panthera atrox\, the American lion\, one of the largest known cats. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLook out! Saber-toothed cats were ambush predators\, and it looks like there’s a few more stone Smilodon we might’ve missed. Can you find them? \n\n\n\nScientists think that saber-toothed cats fed on mammoths and mastadons! Find out how we know at the next stop. \nHey\, Grrl. I can see your bones.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 of 2 \n\n\n\n\nprevious slide \n\n\n\nnext slide \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat do you notice about this cat’s pose? They’re bent low in a crouch\, ready to pounce! Saber-toothed cats probably weren’t fast enough to run down their prey but ambushed their dinners. Can you match this saber-toothed cat pose? \n\n\n\n\n\nOpen wide! This saber-toothed cat skull with jaws open demonstrates the length of the canine teeth. Say\, ‘Ahhh’ for the camera! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow that we know how paleontologists figured out how saber-toothed cats hunted and some of what they ate\, look for another skeletal Smilodon on display. \n\n\n\nTry to remain calm as you snag a selfie with this fossil feline. Take a close look at its vertebrae\, the bones that make its spine. What do you think broken and healed bones tell us about how they hunted? \nThink Outside the Litterbox\nFossil poop is literally too old to stink… well\, Tar Pits fossil poop\, called coprolites\, smell a lot like tar. Can you find some saber-toothed scat? Don’t worry\, you won’t step in it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 of 2 \n\n\n\n\nprevious slide \n\n\n\nnext slide \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s okay to touch it! Or don’t! \n\n\n\n\n\nHere’s some real fossil poop right here from the Tar Pits. Coprolites like this fossil woodrat poo can tell scientists a lot about what extinct animals ate and how they lived. \n\n\nPhoto by Carrie Howard \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFossil Lab\nScientists are working on fossils recently dug up right here from the Tar Pits! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 of 2 \n\n\n\n\nprevious slide \n\n\n\nnext slide \n\n\n\n\n\n\nScientists are uncovering new fossils from the Tar Pits and learning more about the world of saber-toothed cats every day! But is there a saber-toothed cat working in the Fossil Lab? \n\n\n\n\n\nNibbles got into the Fossil Lab?!? How did you get in there? He’s just a kitten\, so the researchers are probably ok. If you can’t find Nibbles in the Lab\, he just might be walking around the museum. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSlow Food\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 of 2 \n\n\n\n\nprevious slide \n\n\n\nnext slide \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAsphalt seeps like the Tar Pits are sometimes called predator traps. What do you think made meals that couldn’t move so tempting? \n\n\n\n\n\nLooks like you’re the sloth here. The scimitar-toothed cat (Homotherium serum) was another pretty kitty with terrifying teeth. Show us your best saber-toothed cat pose and grab a picture before it’s too late! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCool off in the Ice Age and explore the world of saber-toothed cats in our 3D film Titans of the Ice Age playing daily in the 3D Theater. You’ll get to see saber-toothed cats in action! \n\n\n\nAfter you see the film\, try to answer the question: why do you think so many predators got trapped in the Tar Pits? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEven more rawr!\nNow that you’re a real saber-toothed cat person\, why not come face-to-face with a life-size saber-toothed cat puppet in Ice Age Encounters. Travel back in time to Ice Age Los Angeles in this exciting live show. Our star Cali has a killer purr-sonality. She may look fierce\, but you’ve nothing to worry about (unless you’re a giant sloth\, a mammoth\, a mastodon\, a bison\, or a camel…) \n\n\n\nLast stop: step outside for the last selfie stop at an active dig site! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIce Age Science Is the Pits\nSee where all the saber-toothed science gets started at Pit 91 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 of 2 \n\n\n\n\nprevious slide \n\n\n\nnext slide \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew fossils are being unearthed every day at La Brea Tar Pits. It’s the only active dig site in a big city on the planet. Can you find one of the saber-toothed cat fossils found at Pit 91? \n\n\n\n\n\nCan you picture yourself working in paleontology? With new discoveries happening daily\, it’s easy to get stuck in the field. Snap your last selfie then listen closely: you can hear the asphalt bubble. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTurn that frown into a smilodon because Saber-toothed Summer is happening all season long!\nFollow @thelabreatarpits on Instagram and @tarpits on Facebook for more fun saber-toothed cat facts and activities and share your pictures with #SabertoothedSummer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJOIN AND GIVE\n\nSupport our groundbreaking research on Ice Age Los Angeles and what it can teach us about the future of our climate. \n\n\n\n\nMake a gift \n\n\n\nBecome a member \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n5801 Wilshire Blvd.\, Los Angeles\, CA 90036 \n  \nFREE Daily 3-5pm- in the Wilshire District \nWelcome to the world famous La Brea Tar Pits and Museum.  We want to help you make the most out of your visit and discover all that we have to offer. Let’s start planning your tar pits experience: \n\n\n\n\nWe offer a variety of ways to see our general admission areas of the museum for free throughout the year.

SUMMARY:The Iliad Bookshop
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TUESDAY – SATURDAY -North Hollywood\nThe ILIAD BOOKSHOP is one of LA’s most popular book stores. Come on in and browse – we have cats (sorry\, but all dogs other than service dogs must be carried while in the store)\, couches\, music\, water\, and 150\,000 books. We take cash\, check\, Visa\, MasterCard\, Discover. American Express\, Apple Pay\, debit cards\, and Paypal. We’ve been around for over 30 years\, we’ve been featured in numerous movies\, short films\, and television shows\, and we are happy to answer any questions you have on buying or selling books. \n \nSo\, first let’s get one thing straight: We’re not called “ILIAD BOOKSHOP” because we’re a Greek bookshop (the truth is our first location was next to Odyssey Video\, and hence a literary joke). And we’re also not a Russian bookshop\, contrary to a search result that keeps coming up on Google. \n \nOur brick-and-mortar store is located in North Hollywood\, California\, we’re one of the largest used bookstores in the Los Angeles area\, and we specialize in Literature and the Arts (but carry books on most subjects). \n  \n \nThe LA Weekly named us “Best Bookstore Escape” in their 2019 “Best of L.A.” issue\, “Best Used Graphic Novels” in 2015\, and “Best Bookstore\, Valley” in 2012; the L.A. HotList named us Best Bookstore 2018; the L.A. Times “Readers Choice 2011” named us as the favorite bookstore for the Valley/Ventura area; the April 2007 issue of Los Angeles Magazine listed us as one of the best used bookstores in L.A.; the L.A. Times did a feature article on us; we’ve been featured on Storage Wars; and we’ve been home to numerous movie and television shoots. We have over 150\,000 books in stock\, we offer as safe and healthy a shopping environment as possible\, a convenient location with free parking and a bike rack\, an experienced staff\, air conditioning\, and two very sociable cats. \n  \n \n\n\n\nApollo and Zeus\nare brothers who came to us in August 2014 when they were just eight weeks old. Apollo (the blonde one) loves to purr and climb ladders; Zeus (the gray tabby) may jump onto your shoulders unexpectedly. They are very active and playful in the mornings and evenings\, but in the afternoons you may find them asleep in their bed on the front counter. \nZeus and Apollo are featured on Chronicle Books’ list of bookstore cats! \n\n  \n \nHenrietta\nwas a little stray who started hanging around the bookstore’s parking lot in fall of 2011\, when she was just a few weeks old. She was very shy\, but eventually found her way into our back room and took up residence there. For months we thought she was a boy\, and we named her Henry\, after Henry Miller…so you can imagine our surprise when “Henry” went into heat! Unfortunately she never got used to anyone except employee Bob\, so in June 2013 she went to live with Bob at home\, where she now happily resides. \n\n\n\nZola (aka The One-Eyed Pirate Kitty) \ncame to us on May 6\, 2006\, after being rescued by our fabulous writer friend Christa Faust. Zola spent the first two years of her life in a wire-mesh hamster cage\, and received no veterinary care; untreated infections caused her to lose one eye and several teeth\, and left her with a scar on the remaining eye and a loss of muscle tone. Amazingly enough\, she not only survived\, but was affectionate and friendly. Unfortunately\, Zola passed away on March 26\, 2011\, due to complications from an uncommon disease called idiopathic chylothorax \n\n\n\n\n \nTorquemada (or just Torq\, for short) and his sister Helga\nwere born in a vacant lot in Hollywood shortly after the 1994 Northridge earthquake\, and adopted by Iliad employee Bob Johnson not long after. Since Bob lived within easy walking distance of Iliad’s back door\, Torq and Helga accompanied him and soon became the official bookstore cats from 1994 to 2006. Despite being brother and sister\, they were very different in both personality and appearance: Torq was short-haired\, quick\, and slightly bratty\, while Helga was long-haired\, moved v-e-r-y slowly\, and was easy-going in temperament. When we moved to our new location in 2006\, Torq and Helga decided they didn’t like the idea of commuting to work\, and they retired to live at home with Bob. Torq and Helga achieved some fame during their tenure as Iliad’s resident feline employees\, being featured in articles about the store and at Shopcat.com. Helga passed away in 2008\, Torq in 2013. \n\n  \n \nCharlie was a neighborhood stray who basically adopted the store\, and moved in during the early days (circa 1988). Charlie was an easygoing\, laid back guy who got along great with Jack the Dog (see below)\, and obviously just liked being around books. Nicknamed “the Silver Bullet” for his gleaming gray coat and occasional streaks around the store\, Charlie was also responsible for helping one human employee (Lisa) overcome her lifelong cat allergies. When Dan moved out of the store into his own house circa 1995\, Charlie went home with him\, and lived there until he died from old age in 2005. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n \nBugs and Lamont \nwere two neighborhood strays who were adopted by Dan and his wife Gloria when they lived in part of the store. Lamont was a very handsome and noble Persian blue (or at least a Persian blue lookalike) who occasionally strode through the store imperiously; Bugs was skittish\, and we usually only glimpsed her outside. Both went home with Dan and Gloria when they moved circa 1995. \nHours\nSunday & Monday: Closed\nTuesday- Saturday: 11:00am – 7:00pm \n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nhttps://www.iliadbooks.com/\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Old LA Zoo
DESCRIPTION:OPEN EVERYDAY- Griffith Park\nThe Old LA Zoo\, or The Griffith Park Zoo\, opened in 1912 and closed in 1966 with the opening of the new\, Los Angeles Zoo. The abandoned site of the Griffith Park Zoo\, complete with the ruins of animal enclosures\, is now a picnic area and hiking trail in Griffith Park. \n  \n \nThe Old LA Zoo opened in 1912 with a grand total of only 15 animals. Bears\, Lions\, Monkeys\, Macaw’s\, Elephants\, Reptiles\, Goats\, and Turtles now lived in the zoo\, which was built on the original site of Griffith J. Griffith‘s defunct ostrich farm. \n  \n \nAs Los Angeles grew\, the small Griffith Park Zoo was increasingly criticized as an “inadequate\, ugly\, poorly designed despite drawing more than 2 million visitors a year.  \nIn 1958\, the city decided to create a brand new zoo\, and the Griffith Park Zoo closed in August 1966. Its animals were transferred to the new Los Angeles Zoo 2 miles away\, which opened a few months later. \n  \n \nThe animal enclosures\, with the bars removed\, were left as ruins and remain today. A large picnic area was added\, and NOW every summer\, the zoo is the location for the Independent Shakespeare Company’s  Free “Shakespeare in the Park” performances. \nThe Old Zoo is located on Griffith Park Dr. Only 2 miles from today’s LA Zoo\,   \n  \n \nUpon arriving\, you will see a small parking lot. Follow the path Up the hill to reach the abandoned enclosure.  \nUpon arriving\, you will enter many of the original Grotto’s. There are lots of little spaces to crawl into\, AND stairs to climb up.  \n  \n \nFollow the path around to get to the upper lever where you will find even more cages & enclosures. \n \nIf you are going to come for a visit\, make sure to bring a bottle of water and your imagination.  \n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nfriendsofgriffithpark.org\n \n  \nFind more

SUMMARY:THE HAMMER MUSEUM
DESCRIPTION:FREE FOR GOOD! Westwood Village\nThe Hammer Museum champions the art and artists who challenge us to see the world in a new light\, to experience the unexpected\, to ignite our imaginations\, and inspire change. \n\nThe Hammer understands that art not only has the power to transport us through aesthetic experience but can also provide significant insight into some of the most pressing cultural\, political\, and social questions of our time. We share the unique and invaluable perspectives that artists have on the world around us. \nA vibrant intellectual and creative nexus\, the Hammer is fueled by dynamic exhibitions and programs—including lectures\, symposia\, film series\, readings\, and musical performances—that spark meaningful encounters with art and ideas. \nAnd through our unwavering commitment to free admission and free public programs\, the Hammer is open for all and FREE FOR GOOD.\n\n \n  \n\nA BIGGER\, BETTER HAMMER MUSEUM\n\nIf oil magnate Armand Hammer were alive today\, he might marvel that the museum he launched in Westwood before his death in 1990 has evolved into one of the most forward-focused art institutions in Los Angeles. 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. Free admission to the Hammer Museum is made possible through the generosity of Erika J Glazer and Brenda R. Potter. \n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nhammer.ucla.edu\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:INVESTIGATING GRIFFITH PARK
DESCRIPTION:NOW ON VIEW- The Autry Museum\n\n\n\n\nThe Autry Museum of the American West wants to know\, “What makes Griffith Park special to you?”  In a city with such diversity as Los Angeles\, The Autry is reaching out to Angelenos in hopes to hear from as many people as possible.\n\n\n\n\n \nWhat makes Griffith Park special to you? For many Angelenos\, the name evokes a panorama of memories—from picnics\, hikes\, horses\, and softball games to the zoo\, observatory\, trains\, and\, of course\, the Autry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut how much do you really know about Griffith Park? How did it come to be\, and what are its best-kept secrets? Join us as we explore stories about Griffith Park\, a landscape that we honor as Tongva/Gabrielino land and a public park for Los Angeles. \n  \n \n  \nTo celebrate Griffith Park’s 125th anniversary in 2021\, the Autry\, has opened a community-led exhibition. The Autry’s newest exhibition\, Investigating Griffith Park\, a hands-on space that invites visitors to share their stories\, experiences\, and input on what the anniversary celebration should include. \n \n  \nOne section of the current gallery asks\, “What is the park to you?” and invites visitors to write responses. The museum says that while the public’s notes may influence the final exhibition\, they’re also helping the museum plan future questions\, focus group topics\, and talk-back sessions with partner organizations. \n \n\n\n\nWhile the Autry designed the gallery as a way to gather feedback from the public\, it’s also a great introduction to what the park offers. Visitors will find historical artifacts and photos\, video clips of Griffith Park’s many movie appearances\, a kids’ play area\, and an oversized board game about P-22\, the beloved mountain lion. \nEven the area of the park where the Autry is located has a fascinating history. In addition to the upcoming anniversary exhibition\, the Autry’s long-term plan includes building a research archive around Griffith Park in order to make it easier for people to study the park and to spur further research. \n  \n\n\n\n\nTimeline:\nCurrently open in its first phase of development\, we welcome your feedback as we further transform one of the Autry’s core galleries into an experiential\, hands-on space. Through Investigating Griffith Park\, we are gathering input from hundreds of visitors and experts to reveal some of the many stories from the park’s 4\,000-plus acres. Keep watching this space for future updates\, and sign up for our Investigating Griffith Park email list here. \nPHASE I: DISCOVERY | 2018 \nPublic discussions\, hands-on activities\, and feedback loops helped us learn what you wanted to know about the park. \nPHASE II: IDEA TESTING | 2019–2020 \nWatch as the gallery further transforms based on community input. \nPHASE III: EXHIBITION FINALIZED  \nExperience the exhibition fully when phase III is completed in connection with the 125th anniversary of Griffith Park! \n\n\n  \n\n\n \nThe Autry Museum of the American West\, 4700 Western Heritage Way\, Griffith Park.

SUMMARY:UCLA Meteorite Collection
DESCRIPTION:FREE WEEKDAYS- UCLA Westwood Village\nThe UCLA Collection of Meteorites is the largest on the West Coast and contains over 2500 samples from about 1500 different meteorites. It is the fifth largest collection of meteorites in the United States and the second largest housed at a university. \n  \n \nOur collection includes the main masses of about 40 meteorites and the type specimens of more than 300 meteorites collected from hot deserts; 60 of these are iron meteorites. Eighty of these meteorite type specimens are from the state of California. These were collected by local citizens during the past few decades\, mainly from the playas (dry lakes) scattered around the Mojave Desert. \n  \n \nSome of our meteorites are large and well suited for exhibits (in fact\, some of them are exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History). However\, most of the samples are small and mainly of value for research. \n  \n  \n \nThe study of meteorites and the processes that formed them is called cosmochemistry. The cosmochemists at UCLA are among the most productive university researchers in the world. It is thus appropriate that we have one of the best university meteorite collections. \n  \nWe are in the second year of operating a Meteorite Gallery\, located in room 3697 of the Geology Building. Opened in January 2014\, the Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm. CLOSED WEEKENDS. Admission is always free. The current exhibits will gradually expand as funds and additional samples are obtained. For highlights of the Meteorite Gallery please click here. \n  \n  \n \n  \nWe are eager to add meteorites to the UCLA collection. If you have a meteorite collection and are interested in considering a donation\, we would like to hear from you. You can contact us here. \n \nLOCATION\nThe Meteorite Gallery is located in room 3697 of the Geology Building on the UCLA campus. \n595 Charles E.
