From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are 50 'themes' on this list. 10 are Valentine-themed, and can be shared by all art museums. And we have 10 each from four major collections at LACMA. Each 'theme' is a possible attribute, origin or subject matter of an artwork.

The 'themes' have been selected based mostly on the online catalog, looking for ones where we had several artworks on display. The list of items on display is available at http://collectionsonline.lacma.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=onview1. You may wish to browse the items ahead of time in order to plan your visit.
