Happy Thanksgiving from LACMA!

November 28, 2019
Madeleine Heppermann, Assistant Editor, Communications

On this day—and every day!—we are thankful for you, our visitors, supporters, members, patrons, and donors from both near and far. Although LACMA is closed today, we will be open during regular museum hours this weekend, beginning Friday. After you’ve filled your bellies, bring your friends and family to feast your eyes on the inspiring works in our current exhibitions including Do Ho Suh: 348 West 22nd Street; Julie Mehretu; Thomas Joshua Cooper: The World’s Edge; Every Living Thing: Animals in Japanese Art; Betye Saar: Call and Response; The Allure of Matter: Material Art from China; and more!

We hope to see you at the museum soon! Until then, we’ve gathered some autumn-inspired works from the permanent collection to share with you. Happy Thanksgiving!
