Tim Burton is a local boy that made good (or ghoulish).This Summer (until Halloween), LACMA will be displaying his art depicting Goblins, Ghouls, and yes,... Ghosts!
So, come out and see these paranormal portraits in a museum that has paranormal activity of its own...
It is rumored that LACMA West's 1939 art deco building (formerly the May Co.) is the home to a couple of ghosts, and by "couple," we mean a pair of married ghosts (husband and wife).
The legend is that back in the days when it was a department store, there was a restaurant/tea room for customers upstairs with a view of the city (the windows can still be seen from Fairfax Ave.), one day while a Culver City woman was playing card games with friends over snacks, her husband stormed in, pulled out a gun and shot her at point blank range just before turning the gun on himself. Supposedly, the other women present later asked the police if they could go back into the crime scene to finish their game.
Is there a better place to enjoy Tim Burton's dark art?
