LACMA
I went to LACMA for this assignment. There are many exhibits that make up LACMA including an outdoor exhibit that contains exotic animals and plants. I went to the second level mainly, which was the european art section. It had mosaics, artifacts, and paintings. The entire left side of the floor was devoted to oil paintings and frescoes. Most of the art was from Early Christian, Byzantine and Early Renaissance art. They were organized by subject and date and location. For example, there was an entire room of virgin mary's and they were placed chronologically. Then there was an egyptian/Macean/Mayan section that contained artifacts based on location and materials. The museum was really interesting and was educational to all ages because it had at least one exhibit that appealed to each learning ability.
