It is an art museum on Wilshire Boulevard. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is the largest art Museum in the western United States. There are more than 150,000 artworks throughout history. The exhibited artwork not only comes from America, but rather many artworks coming from Greece, China's US of Egypt. The Museum is open every day except Thursdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. Art collections from China, Korea and Japan such as sculpture and ceramics antic you can find in Asia Art area. Not only that, you can also find the work of Islamic calligraphy at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The Islamic Art Area comes from Persian and Turkish artists. The collection in LACMA is very complete. In this place there are nine areas that feature different artworks. To get to this location you can use Metro 20 & 720 and get off at Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avanue. From here you easily find LACMA. The Museum began collecting Islamic art on a large scale in 1973, with the acquisition of the Nash M. Heeramaneck collection (1902-1971), an Indian-born merchant based in New York, specializing in Indian and Persian art. A 1983 gift by Edwin Binney III (1925-1986) added many examples of Ottoman art, notably the Art of books and ceramics, and 2002 acquisition of Madina Collection enhanced holding museums from the Arab world, notably Egypt and Syria.
LACMA now holds about 1,700 works, with power in Persian and Turkish glazed pottery and tiles, glass and manuscripts. Like the British Museum, it has also recently moved into modern art, adding the works of temporary artists contemplation from the Middle East to counter the notion that Islamic art ended in the 19th century. The new gallery will open in a larger space with double the number of objects on the display-around 250-including the carpet LACMA Ardabil, companion to the central V & A, presented to the museum in 1953 by oil baron J.
Paul Getty. Gallery will be held Especially along traditional chronological and geographic lines, although some will be thematic. Curator Linda Komaroff saw the installation of a permanent collection as a "work in progress," something that she could "always improve." He hopes to enlarge the collection in new areas, such as 19th century photography, and to experiment with small installations, such as displaying from canteen or any type of museum objects holding in multiples.
