The Marciano Art Foundation

I went to visit The Marciano Art Foundation in Los Angeles today after reserving my tickets on line a few months ago. Its free but you need reservations to be admitted. The space is in a Masonic Temple built in 1961. A number of items including costumes, books and relics are now part of the museums collection.

The rest of the museum is dedicated to contemporary art. The installation by Jim Shaw was huge and something I’ve never seen before. He says “I’m creating sort of a Hieronymus Bosch-like hell within – the shopping mall hell that is our contemporary life.”
