Culture shock

The LA County Museum of Art opened up a new wing on Monday, called the Broad Contemporary Art Museum, in honor of philanthapist and very rich guy Eli Broad.

LACMA, which is practically across the street from Variety, is a great place to hang out. It has a few restaurants and a gift shop in case you need to buy a gift for someone who has everything.

Anyway, Priscilla and I gave it a visit … but, alas, tickets to the new portion of the place were sold out so we couldn't see the new exhibit. Tickets were free all weekend and more than 60,000 attended. Maybe next time.

Just walking around was a nice diversion from the malls and shopping complexes that are our usual weekend hangouts.

Here's a photo of me in front, by the lampost installation. I'll leave the light on for you!
