Historic Sites and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, historic sites and museums are in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent.

Los Angeles County Museum of Art

From 1910 until the 1960s, The Los Angels County Art Museum was part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Science, History, and Art in Exposition Park. On April 1, 1965, Los Angeles County Museum of Art moved to its new home on Wilshire Boulevard along the Miracle Mile in Hancock Park. LACMA, as it is popularly called, became an independent art-focused institution in 1961 and moved to the Hancock Park location in 1965. Originally three buildings opened, the Ahmanson, the Hammer, and the Bing. Later, the Japanese Pavilion and B. Gerald Cantor Sculpture Garden of Rodin bronzes both opened in 1988. The Anderson joined the complex displaying Modern and Contemporary Art . About 2000, LACMA West was added when the museum acquired the former May Company building two blocks west at the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax. Plans are underway to completely rebuild the facility.
