LACMA
Wilshire Boulevard institution
LACMA is the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the largest art museum in the western United States.
Located on Wilshire Boulevard, it houses collections spanning ancient to contemporary art.
The museum is known for Chris Burden's "Urban Light" installation—rows of vintage streetlamps that have become an iconic photo backdrop: We took pictures at LACMA.
