Where to Go in LA on the Weekend | A Surprising Off
- the - Beaten - Path Art Museum 🎨 Among the numerous art museums in Los Angeles, the Norton Simon Museum is recommended by relatively fewer people. It should be considered an off - the - beaten - path art museum. However, for a long time, it has been highly acclaimed for the value of its exhibits, its collection philosophy, and the viewing experience it offers. It's also known as an art gem in Los Angeles 💎. Just take the 210 Freeway and you'll arrive at this serene museum. Mr. Norton Simon meticulously collected about 12,000 pieces of art over 30 years, encompassing masterpieces from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. 😂 Among them, the 19th - century Impressionist and Post - Impressionist works stand out, including masterpieces by great artists like Monet, Renoir, Degas, Van Gogh, Cézanne, and Gauguin. The museum also boasts a large collection of artworks from India, Nepal, Cambodia, and other places, showcasing the essence of South Asian religious art. The sculpture garden outside the museum is inspired by Monet's Giverny Garden and is centered around a lotus pond.😂 The garden's design seamlessly integrates the natural landscape with art, creating a uniquely peaceful and poetic atmosphere. Unfortunately, the garden is currently under renovation and is not accessible, so I couldn't take any beautiful photos. 😂 Friends planning to come here can check the museum's official website in advance to keep up with the renovation progress of the garden. This garden is truly exquisite and worth coming to take some photos 📷🍃! There's also a small theater inside the museum that regularly screens art films and hosts activities such as lectures, seminars, dance, and music performances throughout the year. ✨ You can refer to the official website for the activity schedules. The museum also offers a wide range of educational programs, including exhibitions, children's courses, and lectures, committed to promoting art education and attracting audiences of all ages to participate 🎨. #USTravel #WesternArtHistory #Museums 🏟😅
