Lift Me Up - Los Angeles, CA

Elevator at the LACMA (LA County Museum of Art).
(The main lift is 21 feet wide, 16 feet high and 9 feet deep, with windows that also provide a city view. And, in the elevator, visitors are literally inside an artwork: A dramatic piece by Barbara Kruger lines the elevator shaft with red, white and black. - LA Times, 2-28-08)

At the Museum - MOLAA, Long Beach, CA

Studying art at the Museum of Latin American Art. (molaa.org).

An exhibit I found fascinating in the permanent collection was a set of movie clips from '30s, '40s, and '50s that used the same painting by Diego Rivera, Flower Carrier, 1935, as part of the set. Rivera is most known for his later works as a famous Mexican muralist, and more recently as the (two-time) husband of Freda Kahlo.
See the painting photo at http://gardenofpraise.com/art24.htm.
Of course, the movies were in black and white.
