The Time for a Contemporary Experience Is Now
After years of trumpeting and weeks of previews, the Museum of Contemporary Art, 250 S. Grand Ave., opens to the public today.
Visitors approaching through the Grand Avenue entrance descend into an outdoor sculpture terrace and proceed to beautifully crafted galleries illuminated by pyramidal skylights.
“Individuals: A Selected Survey of Contemporary Art, 1945-1986,” the inaugural show, features 430 works by 77 artists.
The yearlong exhibit contains a stunning array of artwork divided between the new museum and the Temporary Contemporary at 152 N. Central Ave.
Tickets good at both facilities: $4 for visitors age 12-64; $2 for students and senior citizens; free for museum members and children under 12. Hours: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursdays and Fridays, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; closed Mondays, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Information: (213) 261-2766.
