The Los Angeles County Museum of Art , commonly abbreviated as LACMA, is the American West Coast's largest art museum, originally established in 1961 after breaking away from collections at the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science, and Art. The delightful Museum Row institution, which is located adjacent to the famed La Brea Tar Pits, is located along Los Angeles' Miracle Mile and attracts more than a million annual visitors. Over 150,000 works are showcased as part of the museum's permanent collections, which span from ancient societies to the present day. Major exhibits have highlighted the works of international luminaries such as Pablo Picasso, along with globally-renowned artifacts such as pieces connected to Ancient Egyptian king Tutankhamun. Film and concert series are presented annually as special events.
