Good morning, Hear me out here. This is NOT a Musing about science fiction or dystopia. Rather, it is about an idea contained in the reimagining of the Isaac Asimov classic, Foundation. The show itself is exhaustive, sometimes ponderous and often complicated, requiring a lot of concentration on its many plot lines. I find it diverges too much from the books in many of the wrong places. That said, there is one aspect that does not appear in the books that I find fascinating and that’s what I want to share this morning.
Andrea, I don't have your email so can't respond privately. The standout museums are the Los Angeles County Art Museum in mid-Wilshire (with a wide variety of eras reflected in the collection), the Broad Museum (downtown, with a great selection of modern and contemporary art), the Getty in West LA, the Peterson Museum (for cars--across from LACMA). I haven't been to the Hammer, in Westwood, in a while but understand it's good. The Skirball is a wonderful museum based upon the Jewish experience in America. And at Exposition Park, there's the Natural History Museum, the Science Center and the African American Museum. Good luck! Glenn
A question
My friends are moving to LA
As a going away present I thought I’d get them a membership to a museum or something
Any suggestions?
