Let me just start off by saying that I had no idea what I was in for when I visited LACMA. I was under the impression that LACMA consisted of only one building with multiple exhibits…I was very wrong. LACMA consists six buildings, a theater, and outdoor exhibits- including the popular street lamp exhibit. The contemporary art section was definitely my favorite, mostly because there were a lot of bright colors and cool pieces. A bathroom sink, a very large billiards ball sculpture, and a painting of a spam container were a few of the pieces. It was a very interesting exhibit to say the least…
- Spam on Spam
- Just chillin’ between some lamp posts
- “Urban Light” Exhibit
Next, I headed over to Hollywood with some friends to do some sightseeing and spend way too much money. I walked down Hollywood Boulevard past the stars, the Chinese Theatre, and Spiderman. I also passed by the “Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop” and just HAD to go inside. I told myself I was just going to go in, look around, and walk out, but apparently I don’t listen very well….Within five minutes of entering, I was at the counter ordering a brownie fudge sundae!

- Hollywood Boulevard
Being able to jump in the car and drive no more than 20 minutes to get to these amazing places just reminds me even more of why I love going to school at USC. It’s impossible to be bored out here, and I can’t wait to see wherelse I end up jumping in the car and driving to this school year!
