This Week at LACMA

Drawn from LACMA’s permanent collection, with several significant loans from private collections, Realms of the Dharma: Buddhist Art Across Asia explores the life of the Buddha, the role of the bodhisattva or Buddhist savior, Buddhist cosmology, and such key concepts as dharma, karma, nirvana, mantra, mudra, and mandala. On Sunday, August 10, visitors of all ages are invited to an Andell Family Sundays session where they can make your own art inspired by the exhibition.

Please note that LACMA currently offers limited on-site dining with daily featured food trucks on the Smidt Welcome Plaza, open during museum hours. See the schedule of daily offerings to see this week's featured food trucks. Limited seating, some with shade, is available on the plaza on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors are also welcome to bring food and beverages to enjoy on the plaza or on adjacent lawns in the park.
