Los Angeles presents a grand tapestry of fresh experiences in an exhilarating fusion of past and future. From the glitz of new Hollywood hideaways on Sunset Boulevard to jaw-dropping art exhibitions, LA is shimmering anew, beckoning travellers worldwide.
Arts and Culture’s Luminous Canvas.
Holding the title for the highest number of arts and entertainment venues in the United States, LA rolls out the red carpet this October. The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County’s latest treasure, the iconic Wednesday Addams dress, worn by Christina Ricci, recalls the charm of the 1993 classic, “Addams Family Values”.
For history enthusiasts, the ‘Maya Exhibit’ is a golden ticket to a world long past. Displaying over 250 genuine artifacts – many gracing the US soil for the first time – this exhibition revives the grandeur of the ancient Maya civilization.
Lastly, the brilliance of William Blake, an artist whose prowess spanned printmaking, painting, and poetry, is spotlighted. The exhibition, from October 17, 2023, to January 14, 2024, offers a journey through Blake’s remarkable creations.
