LACMA Muse's Fourteenth Annual Muse 'til Midnight Event

LACMA Muse invites you to its fourteenth annual Muse ‘til Midnight event for an evening of art, live music, food, and drinks to celebrate the museum’s two exhibitions, "Manly Pursuits: The Sporting Images of Thomas Eakins" and "Catherine Opie: Figure and Landscape".

Chrononaut on the Boardwalk

The salt breeze, the bright sun, the ladies and gentlemen in their whites, gay stripes and straw hats. The strong men, jugglers and arcades on the piers entertain folks from all around. From the cliff tops, ornithopters launch catching the updrafts and only occasionally crashing on the rocks below. Beach goers in their modest costumes enjoy the sun and the surf trusting in the submarine kraken patrols to keep them safe. Fortunately death rays work even underwater!

For the month of August Chrononaut's theme will be summer at the boardwalk. Professor Greyshade will spin light and amusing tunes, while vendors wheel and deal. As usual Obscure Discoveries will be there with many goodies on hand! And there will be other surprises including a rare cinematic treat.

August 13th, doors open at 8:00, and the event closes at 12:00. $5 at the door.
