Be Still my Eames Loving Heart

Iconic Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman

This weekend my husband and I went to LACMA to check out the exhibit on California Design, 1930-1965: Living in a Modern Way. I have a soft spot for Midcentury modernism and have been really excited for the Pacific Standard Time exhibits and events around the city. I enjoyed the vintage clothing, furniture, recreation of the Eames House, and midcentury art on exhibit, but hoped it would be a little larger.

You aren't supposed to take pictures, but I found this out a little too late. Here are some of the highlights

With the Tim Burton exhibit winding down, there was some pretty interesting people watching to do and beautiful weather to indulge in. We packed a picnic and ate on the LACMA lawn and enjoyed the Saturday.
