Kaiju vs. Heroes

Sunday's free museum day landed us at Kaiju vs. Heroes: Mark Nagata's Journey through the World of Japanese Toys at the Japanese American National Museum.  

Andy Warhol: Revisited

My Dad used to drive a Silver Shadow just like Andy Warhol.  I think that makes my Dad iconic too.

The kids had Friday off in honor of Caesar Chavez so we drove over the hill to Santa Monica in the late afternoon to Revolver Gallery to view Andy Warhol:Revisited 30 Years Later.  Bergamont Station has become a cultivated community of art galleries geared toward art lovers who want that one-stop viewing experience.  Where have I been?? I seriously don't get out enough.

The Broad + kids in tow

A couple weeks ago we had a fun day, Sunday at The Broad! Being in the presence of contemporary art royalty blew my mind.  I was so impressed by the Broad's enormous collection all housed under a massive architectural beauty.

I finally uploaded some pictures...so up we go!

Comic Book Apocalypse: The Graphic World of Jack Kirby

There's something about going to an art gallery that makes me feel all fancy inside. People who visit art galleries have this sort of edgy-edge feel about them.  They formulate interesting point-of-views and usually have something smart to say.  It's like hanging out with the cool crowd.

Experience 11: SCRATCH at ESMoA

I LOVE graffiti and street art exhibits and taking the family to Experience 11: SCRATCH was really cool.  This was our first time at the El Segundo Museum of Arts, a great little artist space nestled in a quiet neighborhood in El Segundo. 

We made it to the Family Day (FREE!)event which was a perfect day to view this urban art exhibit.  The kids took part in all their activities as a way of taking in the whole experience.

To protect and to serve

Venturing out to different parts of L.A. when the kids are out of school is what I LOVE about summer. We drove out to Highland Park where a gem of a historical museum stands, The Los Angeles Police Museum.

This week in pictures | April 14-20, 2014

Spring Break has come to an end.  Lots of highs/lows.  It's been eventful.  

Forever grateful for our new pediatric ENT.  Portia is unplugged and all is good in my her world:

A Million And One Pieces by David Tracy

It's no surprise David and the boys LOVE Lego.  You say Lego art exhibit and they come running.  Not long ago we viewed Nathan Sawaya's The Art of Brick at Forest Lawn Museum.  Back again now filling a smaller but creative space presents A Million And One Pieces by David Tracy.

Portia, I, and DVF

A first (of many) grown-up girls only day. No Lego or Pokemon here.  Just Diane Von Furstenberg and The Journey of the Dress exhibition.

Discovery Science Center...Here we came

The drive down to Irvine proved to be worthwhile to experience the Lego Castle Adventure at the Discovery Science Center.  We packed in five hours of stacking, building, catapulting, and sliding and even then the kids didn't want to leave.
