Take a trip with Mingei to Los Angeles for a lively two-stop museum tour focusing on contemporary art and craft. We will first stop by The Fowler Museum to see a retrospective of the work of Haitian contemporary artist Myrland Constant. Fowler Museum curators will provide a tour of Constant’s exhibit of hand-beaded textiles. After touring the Fowler Museum, we will head to the nearby Hammer Museum in Westwood to see their current exhibitions or explore their permanent collection at your own pace. Mingei’s Director of Exhibitions and Chief Curator Emily Hanna will travel with us and will provide some remarks on the bus.
The Hammer Museum is also home to a new restaurant Lulu, a collaboration between the wonderful Alice Waters of Chez Panisse fame and chef/cookbook author David Tanis. Lunch will be on one’s own and reservations for Lulu open up 30 days before our visit. We will send a reminder to ticket buyers to make their reservation, if interested, otherwise, there are many other meal options available on Wilshire Blvd outside of the museum.
