The Old LA Zoo
2021-06-22 05:00 - 22:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Old Los Angeles Zoo, 4801 Griffith Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA, 90027, United States
OPEN EVERYDAY- Griffith Park
The 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.

The 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.

As 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.
In 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.

The 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.
The Old Zoo is located on Griffith Park Dr. Only 2 miles from today’s LA Zoo,

Upon arriving, you will see a small parking lot. Follow the path Up the hill to reach the abandoned enclosure.
Upon arriving, you will enter many of the original Grotto’s. There are lots of little spaces to crawl into, AND stairs to climb up.

Follow the path around to get to the upper lever where you will find even more cages & enclosures.

If you are going to come for a visit, make sure to bring a bottle of water and your imagination.

THE HAMMER MUSEUM
2021-06-23 11:00 - 20:00 | Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90024, United States
FREE FOR GOOD! Westwood Village
The 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.

The 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.
A 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.
And through our unwavering commitment to free admission and free public programs, the Hammer is open for all and FREE FOR GOOD.

A BIGGER, BETTER HAMMER MUSEUM

If 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.

But 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.

New Contemporary Gallery

“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.”

4th-Floor-Offices

Under 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.

Lindbrook Terrace

Meanwhile, 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.
Earlier 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.

Annex

The renovations and additions being designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture, who was commissioned in 2000 to create the museum’s 2003 master plan, include:
• 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.
• More than 10,000 square feet of additional exhibition space for contemporary art.
• New permanent collection galleries and a study room for the Grunwald Center Collection.
• 20,000 square feet of enhanced public spaces, including a new restaurant.
• A new and more accessible Hammer Store.

2nd Floor B Side

In 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.”

Bookstore
HISTORY OF THE HAMMER MUSEUM
The 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.
In 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.
Henry 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.

Hours
The museum is open every day, except Mondays, July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.
Monday: Closed
Tuesday – Friday: 11:00 a.m.-8:00p.m.
Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

“The ArtsNotParts Archive”
“ArtsNotParts” was a collective street art movement made in response and defense of the trans community in 2017. An anti-trans bathroom bill was just passed inspiring Grey… to co-conspire with fellow artists and establishments to collaborate and reclaim space in communities around the world by tagging streets, bathrooms, and infamously Trump Tower in NYC in defense of trans rights. This archive symbolizes a step taken to reclaim public space and share collective love.

“Rainbows of Resilience”
A technicolor, large-scale digital illustration of a fantastical PRIDE parade scene with Santa Monica as its backdrop. It is a celebration of the resilience and ability to continue to find joy that the QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous People of Color) communities of LA have displayed in the past year.

“Chosen Family”
Too often people in the LGBTQ+ community face rejection and abandonment from their biological families: chosen family can serve as an important method of survival as well as creating loving bonds. The idea of floating dance floors over the LA skyline came originally from the sentiment that “chosen families uplift one another.” Dancefloors have always been a space for queer people to let loose and be themselves. The artists wanted to transport their traditionally 2D work into a 3D, interactive space that encourages the public to take photos with their chosen families and loved ones. On view at 1227 Third Street Promenade

5. Grey…
“The Mothers of Pride Pearly Gateway”In many indigenous cultures queer beings were considered holy and to be gatekeepers in between this world and the rest. This piece is a play on that indigenous ideology and western religions iconography and how they resonate within self and our community. Where do our mothers go? Home.
On view on Third Street Promenade between Arizona Ave. and Wilshire Blvd.

“I Stand With Trans Youth” and “I Love My Queer Family”
Allies in Arts wanted to respond to current rises in transphobic legislation and rhetoric with interactive pieces visitors could pose with and photograph to show their support for trans youth and queer family. James Kinsley Daniel’s vision was to create a clean, simple backdrop with dimension and visual excitement. “”I love a pattern and repeating geometric shapes. And a 1970s throwback is always fun.” – James Kinsley Daniel

7. Chris Classen
“Love Letters”
The work is text based, messages of love and loss, cut into colored transparent film, and placed on borosilicate glass tubes (just larger than a fluorescent light bulb). The tubes are then slipped over bulbs in existing spaces to be found. Like a contemporary message in a bottle.
On view at 1344 Third Street Promenade.

“Queer Bodies / Queer Identities””Queer Bodies / Queer Identities” is a personal exploration of body and mind. This body of work started as a way of creating identifiable imagery that more so reflected a vision of the artist in their mind’s eye. Over many years, and numerous contributions later, we find a full breathe representing a community yearning for healing and liberation.

“Protest and Pageantry”
Inspired by trans performers turned activists, “Protest and Pageantry” is both a memorial and celebration. This work aims to provide a space where the viewer can celebrate iconic trans persons-of-color performers such as Marsha P. Johnson, Sir Lady Java, and Sylvia Rivera, as well pay tribute to the numerous trans lives lost to violence. This work is a collaboration by Queer artists UnderNewMGMT and ShakesTheArtist.

The giveaways are photocards (selective), a custom heart shaker which is made by one of our staff members, the Going Seventeen magazine, and a Seventeen album.

LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH- Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round Lot
Cars & Coffee Los Angeles is a Classic Car Show held at the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round Lot #1, located at 4730 Crystal Springs Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027. The Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round is a nostalgia-inducing gem that, much like Disneyland, is still enjoyed by the young and the young-at-heart decades after its inception. The small carousel, which is tucked away into a quiet corner of the park, served as Walt Disney’s inspiration for Disneyland. When his children were young, Walt, a Los Feliz denizen, took them to the merry-go-round on weekends. During one visit, while sitting on a bench watching his kids circle round and round, he was inspired to create a large scale gathering site that the whole family could enjoy. His dream was realized on July 17, 1955, when Disneyland opened to the public.

Classic Car Show with a little coffee and some amazing automobiles
Last Sunday of every month

Cars & Coffee Los Angeles was founded to bring together like-minded automotive, photography, and design enthusiasts. The events are very chill and welcoming to all car sorts.

Adults with a standard adult library card in good standing will be able to check out a Chromebook kit at a participating library.

2. How do I check out a Chromebook kit?
Requests for Chromebook kits can be made using our online catalog or over the phone, like any of our other materials.

They cannot be returned to any library other than the one where the kit was checked out. Please call the owning library to arrange a drop-off time and call again once at the library to alert staff. Staff will bring out a box labeled Laptop Return to the Sidewalk Service table. You’ll be instructed to remove all items – the Chromebook, the wireless hotspot, and both charging cables – from the carrying case. Put the case into the box first, on the bottom, and then put all other items in on top. Staff will check the box to make sure all items are inside and that they look fine. All items will be quarantined for 4 days and confirmed to be working properly before being checked in. Staff will contact you if there are any questions or concerns. Please remember that the loan will still show on your account until the quarantine and check-in process is complete.

Yes, fees will depend on the type of damage.

8. Will my documents stay on the Chromebook after I return it?

Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band’s fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding “big four” bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica’s current lineup comprises founding members and primary songwriters Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went on to form Megadeth after being fired from the band) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton (who died in a bus accident in Sweden in 1986) and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.

Metallica earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and won critical acclaim with its first five albums. The band’s third album, Master of Puppets (1986), was described as one of the heaviest and most influential thrash metal albums. Its eponymous fifth album, Metallica (1991), the band’s first to root predominantly in heavy metal, appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling over 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era.
Metallica, like most of the music industry right now, is off the road. To help fans pass the time, they are introducing #MetallicaMondays. Each week the Free Metallica Monday Concert features a different live performance, on their YouTube and Facebook page every Monday night at 5 PM pacific.
