Learning in LA

Los Angeles is not all about beaches, beautiful people, Hollywood, and the "good life."  Los Angeles has lots of scholarly things to do as well.  There are lots of museums that are definitely worth checking out like the Getty, LACMA, and Natural History Museum of Los Angeles.  The Getty is an awesome museum and one of LA's best.  Not only are the exhibits amazing but also the architecture of the building is fascinating by itself.  Another great museum is the Natural History Museum which features lots of interesting exhibits at different times the year.  The ones I have been to are the "body" exhibit and a reptile and insects exhibit, which were both very cool in their own ways.  If you are really interested in contemporary art then LACMA is a place you need to visit.  It has all kinds of famous artwork that is not all contemporary.  Just last month I visited the Henry Matisse exhibit, which was great.  LACMA also includes a really cool light display right outside the museum that people seem to be intrigued with.  It is a place that can be visited more than once and I visit several times every year for new exhibits or even small concerts.  Thanks for reading about another day in paradise!
