NOW ON EXHIBIT- Westwood Village, UCLA
UCLA Fowler Museum presents

Tingatinga

September 25, 2022 – May 14, 2023

This exhibition showcases a series of animal paintings made by members of the Tingatinga Arts Cooperative Society in the 1990s. The Tingatinga style began with Tanzanian painter Edward Saidi (E.S.) Tingatinga (b. Dar es Salaam, 1939; d. 1972). His paintings are characterized by flat, stylized animal depictions clearly outlined against a monochrome ground. Toward the end of his short life, Tingatinga took on apprentices. A cohort of his former students continues to train students and keep alive his distinctive style.
Tingatinga is organized by the Fowler Museum at UCLA and curated by Erica P. Jones, curator of African arts.

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.
Old World stone tool collection
Includes tools from Europe and the Middle East.

DJ Shanna Sarett

Shana Sarett is one of the most in-demand DJs on the east side of Los Angeles and far beyond. Shana began her DJ career spinning vinyl records with a collection she had amassed throughout her life, and soon thereafter earned herself an all-vinyl Saturday night residency at Tenants of the Trees in Silverlake.
She regularly plays high-profile social clubs and hotels such as SoHo House and The Ace DTLA, has played events for brands like Nasty Gal, publications such as Flaunt Magazine has partnered with Guitar Center, played openings at art galleries such as DeBoer Gallery and movie premieres for major motion pictures such as Halloween Ends.
Shana is additionally available to be booked for private events and parties in Los Angeles and the greater Southern California area.

3000 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039
Welcome to High Low Bar! A 1970s-inspired lounge, a sweet addition to the walkable bar options along Los Feliz Boulevard. The former Moon Room/the Griffin is rehabilitated into a 1970s-inspired den, offering big leather banquettes, orange hanging lamps, and ample room, along with a handful of TVs, Tex-Mex food, rotating local beers on tap, and of course, cocktails.

High Low Bar Menu
For the food, the High Low brings Tex-Mex-style puffy tacos, nachos, queso, and burgers. The cocktails are uncomplicated with an emphasis on fresh juices.

Try the king pine with Sazerac rye, lemon, simple syrup, pineapple gum syrup, and aquafaba. And in a fitting invention, the disco inferno cocktail includes Verde Momento mezcal, lemon, agave, aquafaba, and a chili-sea salt floating sprinkle. Well drinks will be $8, with $12 house cocktails, and draft beers from $5 to $10. Daily happy hour will feature $6 wells and discounts on select draft and house cocktails.

High Low Bar Setting
The look and feel of the place with its arched brick ceilings, stone columns, and moody lighting is giving a casual cozy feel. Left over from previous tenants, the tavern aesthetic remains firmly intact, like the wrought iron enclosed front patio, stunning center fireplace, and winding brick ceiling.

There’s also a space for movie nights or singing your guts out at karaoke. For now, the live events take place weekly.

High Low sits across the street from Tam O’Shanter, and steps away from the Morrison, Bigfoot Lodge, and the Roost, while a second row of noteworthy bars is three-minute rideshare or 15-minute walk to Glendale Boulevard’s Club Tee Gee, Link N’ Hops, or the Oeno Vino Wine Shop & Bar. Glendale Tap is also only one mile away.

The Venice Oceanarium
2023-05-14 11:00 - 14:00 | Venice Oceanarium, Venice Fishing Pier, Marina del Rey, CA, 90292, United States
SUNDAYS- Venice Beach Pier
Venice Oceanarium EVERY SUNDAY, 11am – 2pm. @ Venice Pier. A Museum without Walls teaches kids about Marine Biology & the Santa Monica Bay!
Our oceanographic display includes rare specimens, shark jaws, and historical artifacts. Be a Citizen Scientist and help us gather ocean data from our water testing kits. Observe grains of sand and seawater samples under our microscopes. Read ocean-inspired poetry, draw, and learn about the sea life just beneath the pier. We have new enlightening programs every week.
The pier juts 1000 feet out over the open sea, with saltwater breezes and spectacular coastline views! Besides our marine specimens, you’ll see migratory birds perched on the pilings, dolphins, interesting catches reeled in, and local surfer species.

The Venice Oceanarium is a non-profit based in Venice Beach, California. Just steps away from the world-famous Venice Boardwalk, there are ecosystems teeming with wildlife waiting to be explored. Since 1995, countless people have enjoyed our outdoor classrooms through hands-on learning.
OUR MISSION is to ignite a passion for the abundance, diversity, and significance of the web of life in our ocean and its shores. The Venice Oceanarium emphasizes the powerful and enduring emotional and aesthetic influences of the oceans on human culture.
OUR VISION is to build a permanent exhibit on the Venice Pier that educates and inspires visitors about the unique and wondrous life forms in our local ocean.

About Venice Oceanarium
Back in 1995 our founder, Tim Rudnick, organized a weekend-long marathon reading of Moby-Dick at the Venice Beach breakwater. Reliving life aboard a whaling ship and Melville’s soul-searching journey while the group huddled for warmth on the sand was a transformative experience. Tim realized the importance of learning outside of the traditional classroom and founded the Venice Oceanarium, a Museum Without Walls.

This concept of blending the arts and sciences is the core of our programming. We believe that our integrative curriculum inspires kids of all ages to be stewards of our precious oceans.
Over the years we’ve expanded our outreach to include our highly anticipated annual grunion party, weekly Marine Biology pop-up labs at the end of the Venice Pier, classes at local schools and youth centers, tidepool talks, wetland walks, and other excursions.
Venice Beach: An Urban Coastal Park

Venice Beach is a wonderful juxtaposition of urban life and natural wonder. Just steps from the world-famous Venice Beach Boardwalk’s street artists and performers are miles of beautiful shoreline to explore. Wide sandy beaches, crashing waves, shells, seaweed, birds, and other wildlife coexist with surfers, sunbathers, and sandcastles.
The tidepools at the Venice Beach Breakwater are teeming with wildlife (to be enjoyed with your eyes only) as the iconic and colorful Venice graffiti walls loom in the background. There’s a secret reef, and beautiful wetlands, and on a clear day, you can see Malibu and Catalina Island.
Millions of locals and visitors enjoy our beaches. Few stop to really appreciate the rare treasures it has to offer. Our mission is to excite, engage and inspire kids of all ages to appreciate our unique urban coast.
Experiential Learning

The Venice Oceanarium is a Museum Without Walls. Our programs combine science with the arts to encourage kids (of all ages) to appreciate the environment and therefore become stewards of our oceans. We believe that this integrative curriculum of poetry, literature, music, drawing, and performance arts teaches by experiencing the world around us on a more profound level than books and classrooms alone provide.
We design our events and activities to raise awareness of the natural wonders of Venice Beach. Join us on our learning expedition!

TODAY @ CAAM
2023-05-14 11:00 - 15:30, 2023-05-15 11:00 - 15:30 | California African American Museum, 600 State Drive, Los Angeles, CA, 90037, United States
TODAY @ CAAM – Exposition Park
CAMM is pleased to present

600 State Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037, USA

ABOUT CAAM
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.
Founded in 1977, CAAM has a long and rich history. The first African American museum of art, history, and culture fully supported by a state, CAAM was the direct result of a sustained, multiyear campaign of activism undertaken by visionary founders and community members. Its creation was an early and tangible recognition by the State of California of the critically important role African Americans have played in the American West’s cultural, economic, and political development.

CAAM’s permanent collection consists of over 5,000 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. The 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.
CAAM’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.

VISIT
The California African American Museum is located in the heart of Los Angeles, just steps away from USC, the California Science Center, and the Natural History Museum. We are accessible by car, bus, and Metro rail line. Admission, exhibitions, programs, and events are always free and open to the public.

46 North Los Robles Avenue, Pasadena, California 91101
Established in 1971, the museum is one of few U.S. institutions dedicated to the arts and culture of Asia and the Pacific Islands, serving the city of Los Angeles and the Greater Southern California region. The museum’s mission is to further intercultural understanding through the arts of Asia and the Pacific Islands.
The museum’s historic building has served as a center for art, culture, and learning in Pasadena since its construction in 1924 by pioneering collector and entrepreneur Grace Nicholson (1877-1948) as her residence, galleries, and Treasure House/emporium. Ms. Nicholson’s championing of Asian art early in the century set the tone for much of the Pasadena community’s arts-related activities during the ensuing decades. The building also served as the site of the Pasadena Art Museum, which was renowned for its groundbreaking exhibitions of contemporary art. Pacific Asia Museum combined the spirits of both its predecessors in its focus on the classic and contemporary arts of Asia and the Pacific Islands. In 2013, the University of Southern California partnered with the museum to form USC Pacific Asia Museum. The affiliation broadened the community that benefits from the museum’s role as a vital resource for education and cultural heritage and expanded the audience’s interest in a dialogue about art, history, and culture.

VISION
USC PAM is a dynamic and innovative teaching and learning resource for USC and its surrounding communities featuring;

Exhibitions that contest worn assumptions, bridge perspectives, and expand understanding
Educational opportunities that connect cultures, disciplines, and generations
Programs that engage our common life, even in the absence of common ground

VALUES
At USC PAM we believe in the power of art to connect us to our deepest humanity and that of others.
As such, we:

Support the Mission and Vision of USC.
Enlist art to expand understanding and bridge divides.
Collect and exhibit exemplary works that amplify artist voices and lift up community narratives.
Steward the objects entrusted to our care for the benefit of successive generations.
Use our resources to inspire a plurality of audiences.

WHAT IS THE PACK? Freedom. Fearless. Family.
The Pack is a comedy theater and school that is home to some of the wildest, most innovative comedies anywhere. We offer shows seven nights a week and classes year-round. We are named the Pack because we are a family of hungry, ballsy, passionate artists. Our unapologetically bold performers and students are encouraged to take risks and develop their unique comedy voices because at the Pack we believe comedy should be inventive and always evolving. The Pack Theater was founded by Miles Stroth (The Family, Heather & Miles) in 2007 as the Miles Stroth Workshop, and subsequently evolved into a den of viscerally exciting, unexpected, and original comedy.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, The Pack Theater was unable to offer our normal classes which would meet at our theater and class spaces in Hollywood, CA. As conditions have changed and improved, we are now once again offering In-Person classes.
Some classes will still be offered Online. Others will have In-Person options.
The 4 week Online classes will require a $50 deposit to reserve your spot, with the rest due prior to the start of classes. Class size is limited to 12.
The 8-week In-person classes will also require a $50 deposit to reserve your spot, with the rest due prior to the start of classes. Class size is limited to 12. (8 for Miles Level 4)
Note: We require that all students for our In-Person classes be fully vaccinated or be able to provide a negative Covid test taken within 48hrs of the class. In class we request that students remain masked when not on stage. Students can either wear or not wear a mask when performing.
We will continue utilizing the ZOOM platform.
Please download the Zoom meeting software to enable you to join the classes, FREE at https://zoom.us.
You will be sent the meeting room code shortly before your class is scheduled to start.
As we are based in Los Angeles, all class times are PST.
Once you reserve your spot in class with a deposit the remaining balance is due prior to the start of the first class. If you are in need of a payment plan or have any questions, feel free to contact our owner, Miles Stroth at milesstroth@gmail.com
Thanks and stay safe!

EVERY SUNDAY – West Hollywood
Carry your Sundaze into the evening every week at Backbeat in the Hotel Ziggy, where a live band or DJ, libations, and late-night bites from B-Side will make you forget about Monday’s impending arrival.
There’s a revolution going down at Hotel Ziggy and you’re invited along for the ride. Our West Hollywood live music lounge and outrageous weekend pool parties are everything you’d expect and more from the Sunset Strip’s last-standing rebel. A weekly lineup of local bands, DJs, and events keeps our guests more than entertained and the local crowd coming back for more. Check it out and join the movement.

BACKBEAT ON SUNSET

Backbeat is host to the newest music venue in West Hollywood. Intentionally dropped directly into Ziggy’s lobby, Backbeat’s decoupage walls and live sets from local bands and DJs immerse guests and locals into our deep, and often twisted, musical roots. Come for a nightcap at the weekly Sunday night show or host your own party on the Strip.

8462 West Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, California 90069

Hotel Ziggy is crusading to keep the spirit of the Sunset Strip, an epicenter of music culture, alive and rooted in counterculture and originality. We are a gathering place for the creatives of LA and the home base for visitors who want to be immersed in the Strip’s rebellious roots while having a little too much fun at our alluring saltwater pool. What we’ve created is both a boutique hotel and a neighborhood hangout for locals; a tribute to those who came to create, played, and partied. And now, it’s your turn to do the same.

EVENTS & LIVE MUSIC

Ziggy turns it up on Saturdays and Sundays with weekly pool parties from 12:00-6:00 pm featuring live DJs, food, and libations. Guests get a free invite and locals can purchase tickets to join in. Check out the Events Calendar for other live music and the latest happenings at Ziggy. SEE WHAT’S GOING ON

Graham Garden
2023-05-15 | Halo @ Wells Fargo Center, 330 S Hope Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90071, United States
OPEN EVERY DAY- DTLA Wells Fargo Center

Graham Garden integrates Fountain Figures I-IV, a collection of graceful sculptures created by late Los Angeles artist Robert Graham, in a newly designed outdoor plaza at Halo. For over fifty years, Robert Graham’s observation of the female form and use of scale allowed him to explore and create a range of intimate sized works and large public monuments, widely celebrated for their precise iconic detail.
The sculptures were originally part of CRA/LA’s mission in 1985 to incorporate public art in redevelopment projects and revitalize Downtown Los Angeles. The four sculptures are currently situated in an exterior landscaped setting that Graham’s son, Steven Graham, consulted on as part of the renovation at Wells Fargo Center.

Robert Graham, was a Mexican born sculptor, and although you may not be familiar with his name, you probably ARE familiar with some of his work. Graham’s monumental bronzes commemorate the human figure, and are featured in 11 public places in and around the city of Angels. Including; The Olympic Gateway at the Memorial Coliseum, The Torso at Rodeo Drive, The Great Bronze Doors and Statue of Mary at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, and The Dance Door – Los Angeles Music Center

And now, you can see his latest collection. The Robert Graham Sculpture Garden gracefully nestled in the newly designed outdoor plaza at Halo, at Wells Fargo Center.
This collection is a unique addition, to the Olympic Celebration, coming to LA in 2028, The collection of four bronze fountain figures, was inspired by gymnastic athleticism, strength, and beauty. Fountain waters flow over bronze and granite pedestals into a shallow reflecting pools, which are integrated into the Halo’s landscape.
You will find the Robert Graham Sculpture Garden at the very top of Bunker Hill, in DTLA at 330 S Hope St between Hope and Grand.

SEE A REAL ROCKET UP CLOSE
2023-05-15 | SpaceX, 1 Rocket Rd, Hawthorne, CA, 90250, United States
ON DISPLAY DAILY @ SpaceX Headquarters, Hawthorne
Would you like to see a real SpaceX Falcon 9 here in LA? You Can! Outside the SpaceX’s headquarters in Southern California. The company which created the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch mounted the 156-foot-tall (47-meter) gigantic space machine on vertical display for its significant milestone and as a testament to the perseverance of its founder, and chief engineer Elon Musk, who wants to reduce the cost of colonizing Mars by developing a fleet of fully reusable spaceships.

The rocket on display is the first SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to land successfully after years of research and experiment, during which the company switched from its initial plan to retrieve rockets with parachutes to a very thoughtful idea of involving multiple engine restarts, landing legs, and precision landing algorithms.
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully stage landed at Cape Canaveral after a Dec. 21 launch with 11 Orbcomm communications satellites on vertical display. The rocket is a jaw-dropping out-of-space scientific attraction visible to passersby on nearby streets and freeways. The rocket is located near the southeast corner of SpaceX headquarters at the intersection of Crenshaw Blvd. and Jack Northrop Ave. in Hawthorne, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.

The historic masterpiece had to undergo thorough scrubbing and treatment to wash away soot residue it gathered from flying through its own exhaust, before it was brought to Hawthorne for permanent exhibition in front of SpaceX’s main building with the help of two heavy-lifting cranes.
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket boosters that were recovered since its first mission are being put to use again and again as SpaceX has now flown a previously flown first stage on a satellite launch. This is the result of a successful five-year technology development program to develop reusable rocket launch systems.

Want to see a real rocket launch?

Don’t miss any of the exciting Rocket Launches Now Scheduled from the Vandenberg AFB in Southern California.
Parents, time to round up the whole family and take everyone out of to see real rocket fly through the sky. Anywhere that has a good west facing view of the Southern California sky, is great. Beaches are especially good locations, because of the lack of light over the ocean. Take a look at the video below, of a recent SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket Launch from Vandenberg AFB.

That’s the beauty — and the freedom — of a virtual run.

Virtual runs are races that can be completed from anywhere in the world. Whether you walk or run doesn’t matter, and neither does your skill level.

6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR 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.
Playing 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.
According 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.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.
VR 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.

Explore the groundbreaking architecture of the Getty Center in this 45 minute docent-led tour of the site.

Gardens are integral to the setting of the Getty Villa, as they were in the ancient Roman home. Open spaces around the site feature bronze sculptures, fountains, and lush plantings of trees, herbs, and flowers used by the Romans. In ancient Roman times, the outer peristyle garden would have been used to converse with guests and for solo contemplation.

The Getty Villa is Closed Mondays
Admission to the Getty Villa is free for the whole family. Each Villa ticket allows you to bring up to three children ages 15 and under with you in one car. The Getty Villa offers special educational programs for children. A special Family Forum gallery offers activities, including decorating Greek vases and projecting shadows onto a screen that represents a Greek urn. The gallery has polystyrene props from Greek and Roman culture for children to handle and use to cast shadows. The Getty Villa offers children’s guides to the other exhibits.

UCLA Meteorite Collection
2023-05-15 13:00 - 16:00 | UCLA Meteorite Gallery, Geology Building, Room 3697, 595 Charles Young Drive East, Westwood Village, CA, 90024, United States
FREE WEEKDAYS- UCLA Westwood Village
The 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.

Our 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.

Some 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.

The 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.

We 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.

We 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.

LOCATION
The Meteorite Gallery is located in room 3697 of the Geology Building on the UCLA campus.

30 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254

A restaurant called “Verpilate’s” was built a short walk from the ocean at 30 Pier Avenue in 1934, and it was converted into “The Lighthouse”, a bar, in 1940 (“Café” was added to the official name only when the business was sold in 1981). The club first began showcasing jazz music on May 29, 1949, when owner John Levine permitted bassist/band leader Howard Rumsey to start a recurring Sunday jam session on a trial basis. The experiment was a success. Rumsey became club manager soon after and put together a house band called the Lighthouse All-Stars.
While the club also hosted visiting groups, the Lighthouse All-Stars became a noted ensemble in its own right, which had among its guest musicians Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan, and Miles Davis. The longest-running members of the Lighthouse All-Stars were Bob Cooper (tenor saxophone), Conte Candoli (trumpet), and Stan Levey (drums).

West Coast jazz stalwarts Shorty Rogers, Richie Kamuca, Bill Holman, Bud Shank, Shelly Manne, and Jimmy Giuffre were also regulars in the early days. Max Roach was the regular drummer for a while in 1953. The club also became an important venue for recordings; Art Pepper, Lee Morgan, Cannonball Adderley, Mose Allison, Ramsey Lewis, Art Blakey, Charles Earland, Grant Green, Elvin Jones, Cal Tjader, the Modern Jazz Quartet, The Three Sounds, the Jazz Crusaders, and Joe Henderson all made recordings there.

“The Lighthouse” sponsored an inter-collegiate jazz festival in the late-1950s, and the competition’s winners included Mike Melvoin and Les McCann.
John Levine died in 1970 and Rumsey left “The Lighthouse” in 1971 to open the “Concerts By The Sea” jazz club in nearby Redondo Beach. From the middle of the 1990s, jazz slowly began to come back to the club.
