Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)

Exhibition, curatorial, conservation & Art programslacma presented 27 exhibitions and permanent collection installations in fiscal 2021-2022, featuring artworks from its own collection and from lenders around the world. Public programs, films, and concerts are developed in coordination with special exhibitions. Many works from the Museum's collection of nearly 149,000 objects are treated by conservators, while the Museum's research library and scholarly publications provide reference support to Museum staff and outside scholars. All of these activities serve to meet the goals of conservation, exhibition and interpretation of Art into meaningful aesthetic, intellectual, and cultural experiences.

Public and protective services and engagementit is a Museum goal to continuously expand and serve audiences of all ages, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds by creating welcoming environments and programs. This is accomplished through a variety of means, including on-site staff and contractors protecting Art and providing service to the public, special events, promotional campaigns, campus way-finding media, and the Museum magazine.

Facility enhancementin fiscal 2021-2022, lacma continued work towards a major, new Museum building. Most of these costs were capitalized and are not reflected on this line. This category of expense also reflects financing and depreciation expense representing amortization of the capitalized costs of constructing the Museum's physical facilities, an activity that is one of the core reasons Museum Associates was founded.

The Museum collects works of Art in all media, from every historical period, and from every corner of the globe to enhance its permanent collection. Expenses reflect funds paid by the Museum for the acquisition of Art works, but do not reflect the value of in-kind gifts of Art. The Museum offers many educational outreach programs in local schools and on-site for children and teens as well as classes and other programs and interpretive materials for college students and adults.
