LACMA: Learning about Art Can Make you Adore it

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art was so large, I wasn’t sure where to begin. As my mother and I parked my car and walked towards the massive structure, I looked for the ticket booth and had already began to feel a bit overwhelmed. We continued to follow the waterworks to our right and my mother mentioned to me that it reminded her of the Vietnam Memorial. There are a few things I noticed off the bat, and that was the large amount of palm trees there were in front of the building. I know this is Los Angeles, but I’m from San Jose and often notice palm trees when most people do not. I wondered if the palm trees were planted there to make people from out of state appreciate the “LA-ish” vibe the museum exuded. I was pleasantly surprised by the Anderson building, I thought it looked open, airy, and very LA.
