With so much to explore, it’s a good idea to scan the online menu of special exhibitions before arriving. This summer, step into the mind of Stanley Kubrick (through June 30), one of our greatest directors, or explore the use of light in art in James Turrell: A Retrospective, a truly unique physical and optical experience (through April 6, 2014). Other special exhibitions feature the work of Henri Matisse, Hans Richter, Stephen Prina, and renowned Japanese printmaker Katsushika Hokusai. Traveling with family? The next generation of artists is never in short supply (children under 18 receive free admission). LACMA’s creative playground includes an art-making gallery, interactive artworks, and special Sunday activities. All ages will enjoy watching Chris Burden’s Metropolis II bustle to life. The kinetic sculpture is comprised of intertwined miniature freeways and train tracks, a reflection of frenetic modern city life. There’s always more to a great arts community than a single museum. Within walking distance: the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits, the Peterson Automotive Museum, the Craft and Folk Art Museum, and the A +D Architecture and Design Museum. Afterward, head back to LACMA to grab a cocktail at the Stark Bar or dinner at Ray’s, voted by Esquire as one of LA’s best farm-totable restaurants. On summer evenings, catch free jazz on Fridays, Latin on Saturdays, and classical music each Sunday. Enjoy the phenomenal sunset views, including Michael Heizer’s monumental Los Angeles outdoor sculpture, County Museum Levitated Mass.
