Los Angeles County Museum of Art | LACMA

Boasting over 150,000 works of art from ancient times to the present, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is the largest art museum in the western United States. Located along Wilshire Boulevard, neighboring the La Brea Tar Pits and just across the street from the Wall Along Wishire, LACMA is perhaps most easily recognized by Chris Burden's extremely popular Urban Light exhibit at its entrance.

Exploring an art museum of this scope and scale offers something for absolutely everyone. From ancient Egyptian artifacts to classic works by Monet, Matisse, Picasso, Pollock, Warhol, and on and on and on, it's not just the art that's amazing, but the spaces in which they're on display as well. In addition to the changing exhibitions, I've discovered something new each time I've been back. As the latest addition to the Roadside California series, here's the first installment of my visual exploration of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, California.

Washington and the Pacific Coast Highway

There's a lot to be said for the beauty found along the Pacific Coast Highway, but as usual I'd rather let the images speak for themselves. On a continuing journey through the Pacific Northwest, and heading south along the Washington stretch of the PCH, here are a few of the highlights I captured.
