Once a dirt road, the 1.5-mile stretch of Wilshire Boulevard we call “Miracle Mile” is now home to iconic institutions like the LA County Museum of Art (LACMA), the La Brea Tar Pits and the Screen Actors Guild / AFTRA. Though it was originally designed as a commercial district catering to customers in cars, today a 15-minute walk takes you by Museum Row, bustling restaurants and Art Deco treasures. The development continues with major construction on museums, additional renovations and the Metro Purple Line Extension.
Contemporary art without attitude.
Established in 1965, this museum has a warm, tranquil vibe and friendly, knowledgeable staff. The shop is full of excellent, earthy gifts: books, ceramics, home goods and funky, chunky jewelry. Did you know there’s a movement of contemporary male quilters? Now you do. This is a place to discover, be surprised and get inspired. All events are designed to help you connect with the satisfying experience of making something with your hands.
