PACIFIC STANDARD TIME AT LACMA

LACMA hosts five of its own shows that tell this story through wildly different lenses. Bonus: Check them out for free (along with the rest of LACMA’s permanent collection galleries) this Sunday, October 2. Free shuttles will also run between LACMA, the Hammer Museum, and L.A.C.E. throughout the day.
