9341 Venice Boulevard, Culver City, California 90232
The public museum as understood today is a collection of specimens and other objects of interest to the scholar, the man of science, and the more casual visitor, arranged and displayed in accordance with the scientific method. In its original sense, the term “museum” meant a spot dedicated to the muses – “a place where man’s mind could attain a mood of aloofness above everyday affairs.” By far the most important museum of antiquity was the great institution at Alexandria founded by Ptolemy Philadelphus in the third century before Christ, (an endeavor supported by a grant from the treasury). And no treatment of the museum would be complete without mention of Noah’s Ark in which we find the complete Museum of Natural History the world has ever seen.
The Museum of Jurassic Technology traces its origins to this period when many of the essential collections of today were beginning to take form. Many exhibits which we today have come to know as part of the Museum were, in fact, formally part of other less well-known collections and were subsequently consolidated into the single collection which we have come to know as The Museum of Jurassic Technology and thus configured, received great public acclaim as well as much discussion in scholastic circles.

STEP BACK IN TIME- Venice Beach
The Venice Heritage Museum’s mission is to preserve, showcase, and nurture Venice’s diverse cultural heritage and history. The Venice Heritage Museum (VHM) gives visitors the opportunity to experience the stories of one of our country’s most culturally rich and innovative communities—Venice, a Los Angeles, California coastal community.
VHM is a place for discovery, displaying Venice’s accepting and progressive legacy and highlighting both well-known and untold histories. In the face of constant change, VHM aims to be an inclusive hub to celebrate the diverse cultures and unique facets of Venice’s culture and history.

Living Heritage

Rotating exhibitions and events showcase our in-house and community archives, representing Venice’s creative and socio-economically diverse histories. Collecting stories as local Venice community histories evolve and grow as we develop a hub for the future as well as the past.

Cultural Representation

Providing a permanent platform for Venice’s diverse communities, highlighting both well-known and untold histories.
Representing historical legacies through the words, images, and ephemera of community members themselves.

Strengthening Community

Improving the lives of local community members, other Angelenos, and visitors by deepening and enriching their understanding of Venice.

Serving as a common ground where all attendees can meet and gather to celebrate the Venice community’s unique culture.

Empowering Youth

Educating and empowering young people to take pride in their community, their family histories, and the stories of cultural innovators who have lived and worked in Venice
Nurturing youth to write the next chapter of the Venice history by becoming cultural stewards and storytellers in their own right

Public Knowledge Production

VHM is interested in the full range of the heritage of Venetians. This range includes inherited traditions of tangible and intangible culture, as well as contemporary activities, meanings, and behaviors that we draw from them.​
As part of fulfilling our mission, VHM preserves and highlights the cultural and collective stories of Venetians. Our work is to curate and collect stories, artifacts, memorabilia, and memories and through them tell the stories/histories of the Venice community. VHM is interested to preserve source materials and produce new knowledge that is accessible to the communities and institutions that seek access to them.

​Venice’s heritage is uniquely rich, as so many people in Venice come from different backgrounds. Over 115+ years, Venice has experienced cultural shifts and economic turbulence, and yet common threads are still found within the community. It is those shared commonalities that make all of us Venetians.

The Nethercutt Museum
2024-09-27 09:00 - 16:30 | The Nethercutt Museum & Collection, 15151 Bledsoe Street, Sylmar, CA, 91342, United States
FREE EVERY THURSDAY – SUNDAY- Sylmar

Founder JB Nethercutt spent a lifetime establishing this collection of historic importance. Unique to automobile museums, each car on display is attentively serviced and maintained to remain as drivable as when the vehicle originally rolled off the showroom floor. On view are various Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance winners and cars once owned by movie stars, royalty and other notable personalities.

Building ONE: The Nethercutt Museum FREE!
The entire collection is housed in two beautifully appointed exhibit facilities located just north of Los Angeles. Housed in the Museum is the Nethercutt Automotive Research Library and Archives , one of the world’s top automotive research facilities. Just steps outside the Museum are a resplendently restored steam locomotive and railcar.
Opened in 1971, The Nethercutt Collection is a not-for-profit educational institution and a resource for automobile enthusiasts, historians, students and scholars. It is open to the public at no charge. The Nethercutt Museum showcases more than 130 of the world’s greatest antique, vintage, classic and special interest automobiles including many top winners of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

THE ANTIQUE ERA (1890s – 1915)
Innovation and experimentation were at the heart of this era and provided the catalyst for the automobiles’ development. By the late-19th century, “horseless carriages” were being built by small groups of artisans, craftsmen and engineers on a small scale, with many taking characteristics from the wagons they were replacing.

THE VINTAGE ERA (1916 – 1924)
A class of cars that came to be known today as “vintage,” fits in between the expensive coach built brands that became classics and the inexpensive models represented by Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge. These cars sold for between $500 and $2,000. They had basic engineering features but had better cosmetic appointments such as visors, cigar lighters and wool broadcloth interiors.

THE CLASSIC ERA (1925 – 1948)
This era elevated the common automobile to a status symbol, as evidenced by their cost. When common vehicles sold for $400 to about $1,200, the classic car had a price tag of $2,000 to $20,000.

THE POST-WAR ERA (1945 – 1970s)
Throughout the 1950s, engine power and vehicle speeds rose, designs became better integrated and more stylized, and cars grew more popular across the world. The auto market slightly shifted in the 1960s, causing Detroit to worry about foreign competition. European makers adopted even greater technology and Japan appeared as a serious car-producing nation.

PEACOCK: NBC Universal FREE!
2024-09-27 | Online, Los Angeles
THE BEST OF NBC UNIVERSAL– Stream Free Online
Introducing Peacock TV. The New Streaming Service from NBC Universal is FREE as a bird. Now on Roku!

Fame, identity, Corvettes — Angelyne, the self-proclaimed Rorschach test in pink, takes over Los Angeles billboards in the mid-1980s as an enigmatic blonde bombshell, ushering in the era of famous-for-being-famous influencer culture.
Starring Emmy Rossum, Martin Freeman, Alex Karpovsky

Peacock is the new premium streaming service run by NBCUniversal. It was released in mid-2020 under the ownership of Comcast. It’s home to exemplary and ongoing shows from NBCUniversal’s different transmission and cable networks, alongside films from Universal Pictures, Dreamworks Animation, and Focus Features.
The service will act as an all-inclusive resource for NBC Universal content and will flaunt a noteworthy library of NBC comedies and shows, live games, and new unique content.

NBC’s Peacock TV
has a wide range of price and streaming plans. Peacock has three levels of service: Free, Premium, and Premium Plus. The Free level has a subset of the content of the upper two levels and focuses on its clients with advertising. The middle level, Peacock Premium, has advertising too yet gives the full library of content. In both advertisement upheld levels, ads are restricted to five minutes out of every hour. The upper level, Peacock Premium Plus, gives the full library without promotions or adverts. Peacock Free is accessible at no charge to all U.S. clients. Peacock Premium is accessible as a month to month membership and is also included in certain services from TV service providers including Xfinity and Cox.

Peacock TV is unusual and unique among its rivals in that it has a free plan. It additionally stands out among the harvest of new services in that it’ll have live games and news; a large portion of the most current real-time features are centered solidly around video-on-demand amusement along the lines of Netflix.
Up until now, Peacock has joined by 22 million accounts till the end of September. That incorporates individuals who enlisted with Peacock when it turned out to Comcast pay-TV clients in April, just as new individuals who’ve joined since its public release on July 15.

Thanks to the free plan, it doesn’t cost anything to give it a shot for yourself. On the off chance that you love NBC’s way of programming or you need more huge named movies to stream – and particularly if Netflix has spoiled you into despising ads- you may wind up paying for one more streaming service.

A LITTLE BIT OF TOKYO IN LITTLE TOKYO- Japanese American National Museum

The James Irvine Japanese Garden is a traditional Japanese Garden located on the Little Tokyo campus of the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center.

The Garden also serves as a unique and elegant venue for weddings, photo shoots, memorial services and other private events.

History

Established in 1981.
A centerpiece of the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center, the Garden also known as Seiryu-en or the Garden of the Clear Stream, was constructed by more than 200 volunteers who contributed more than 3,000 man-hours. The garden was designed by landscape architect Dr. Takeo Uesugi and received the National Landscape Award in 1981, the nation’s highest award for environmental improvement and community beautification. Most recently, the James Irvine Japanese Garden underwent a major restoration with the purpose of creating a revitalized green space in downtown Los Angeles and sharing the aesthetics of Japanese culture with the community. The James Irvine Garden has served the community, for nearly three decades, by providing a tranquil and elegant departure from the urban landscape. It is the intent of the Board of Directors, staff, members and volunteers of the Japanese American Community & Cultural Center that this tradition be maintained for the benefit of all.

Winston has been practicing mindfulness meditation for more than 20 years, and when she began it was fairly unknown in this country. But today secular mindfulness meditation is taught to executives, war veterans and schoolchildren; it is used in prisons and hospitals, and is written about in women’s magazines.

Gleaming vessels from renowned workshops—such as those of British silversmith Paul de Lamerie (c.1800), Russian jeweler Karl Fabergé (c.1900), and American patriot silversmith Paul Revere (c.1760)—highlight important styles and techniques.

Areas of the Collection

ARTS OF AFRICA AND THE AFRICAN DIASPORA

One 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, the 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.
A 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.
The 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, and notable arts from Haitian Vodou, Brazil, and Suriname.

ARTS OF THE AMERICAS

These 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, Puebla, and Guanajuato.
Native 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.

ARTS OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

The 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 the 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.
The 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.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS

The 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 mandated by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and has been signaled out by the State of California for its exemplary efforts.
Archaeological collection areas include:
California
Collections from approximately 1100 sites, mostly in Southern California.
Southwest
Significant collections from the Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition of 1933-1938 and several Parowan Fremont sites in Utah were excavated in the 1950s, and other Anasazi and Hohokam sites.
Mexico
Includes objects from 218 sites, mostly in western and central Mexico.
Sudan
The 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.
