This fall and spring, you're in for a treat at LACMA. With the purchase of a general admission ticket, you'll gain entrance to the museum's exhibition dedicated to German Expressionist cinematic works, such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and M. In this collaboration with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (LACMA's soon-to-be next door neighbor), see set stills, posters and manuscripts from 25 movies, including those gathered by film historian and author of The Haunted Screen Lotte Eisner. If you don't mind a shorter visit, come after 3pm to get in for free with proof of LA residency.
Fall in Los Angeles signals a change in the city (bye for now, tourists) and an influx of new art exhibitions that show what LA culture is really made of. Seek refuge from the hottest days of September and October—or from what-should-we-do boredom when family comes to call—in a cool museum gallery surrounded by incredible art. From Pasadena to the beach and everywhere in between, there's a lot to see at LA museums this season. We offer our five picks for must-see art exhibitions this fall.
