We went to LACMA<\/a> to see the Tim Burton<\/a> show before it left; the show was interesting, but packed – we had to wait 1 1\/2 hours to go in, and even then it was hard to get close to objects. There were two rooms dedicated to film props and drawings, and then a few more rooms containing older drawings and paintings (and Tim Burton’s winning poster for Burbank trash trucks). Because we’re members we got a free show catalog….<\/p>\n

Of course we walked around the collection – most notable for me was the wooden bust of a woman from Holland in the 1400s. Ai Weiwei<\/a> (also at artsy.net<\/a>) had up a zodiac of cast metal heads outside of the galleries – arranged in a circle and on metal pillars, they were quite spectacular.<\/p>\n
