Los Angeles County Museum of Art

Los Angeles, United States

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is the largest art museum in the western United States. It was established as an independent institution in 1961 and opened its building on Wilshire Boulevard, in the Miracle Mile district, in 1965.

Its encyclopedic collection holds well over 100,000 objects spanning antiquity to the present, with notable strengths in Asian, Latin American, Islamic and European art. The campus has expanded repeatedly, and a major redevelopment of its central galleries has reshaped the site in recent years.
