Through its far-reaching collections, the museum is a resource to and a reflection of the many cultural communities and heritages in Southern California. The museum offers a variety of rewarding experiences for the general public and art professional alike. A lively schedule of special exhibitions, world-renowned film and music programs, and a number of educational events complement the permanent collection. Experience European masterpieces, cutting-edge contemporary art, an extensive collection of American art from the United States and Latin America, a major Islamic art collection, one of the most comprehensive Korean art collections outside of Korea, and the stunning Pavilion for Japanese art.
In addition, LACMA's research library is open to the public by appointment, as is the Teacher Resource Center, which provides slides, videotapes, and other materials for educational programming in the classroom.
