The weekend of Oct. 2 and 3rd, the Resnick Pavilion at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art will open to the public. The single-story, 45,000 square foot structure is the largest purpose-built, naturally lit, open-plan museum space in the world. The collection features 18th century art including Peter Paul Rubens Click here for free tickets.
While you are there, check out the newly installed Matisse recently bequeathed by Frances Brody. It is a magnificent work located in the Ahmansen building.
The museum has a great sculpture garden for kids to run around. Make sure you visit the welcome center to pick up a family guide to enrich your children's experience. LACMA is one of my favorite museums. It contains examples of at least one significant western artist from the 19th century to present day. This is a great museum for teaching art history from that period to present day.
