Halloween Happenings: Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA

Halloween is just around the corner, and a trip to visit an exhibition on the King of Halloween Town Jack Skellington  Tim Burton is just what we needed to kick the season into high gear! 

The Resnik Pavilion at LACMA is currently home to a retrospective on Burton which artfully displays hundreds of his works. Campers start out by learning about Burton's roots in Burbank, his time as a student at CalArts and his early career as an illustrator with Disney. The exhibit does a great job if balancing displays of Burton's big hits like Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas with his lesser known works including his commercials and short films. We particularly loved that special attention was paid to one of our macabre favorites, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories. The presentation and range of Burton's works do a great job of framing his story.

The exhibit is on display until October 31 and Tickets are $20 or free with LACMA membership.

Summer Camp Forever!

We recommend that Campers get there early or stay late to enjoy a delicious libation at the recently opened Stark Bar. It's part of the Patina group and is an excellent addition to the LACMA ambiance.
