Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

We decided to see the Hammer Museum and went on Primary Election Day. It was a long bus ride out Wilshire Blvd from the convention center (used the #20 bus) to the UCLA campus. We found entrance free. We checked in and were then able to visit both the permanent collection and the Paul McCarthy exhibition. The lobby gallery showed some recent works and we enjoyed these immensely. We then went upstairs to the permanent collections, which afforded us the opportunity to see the Wonderfull collections and works by some of our favorite artists, we never saw before, and several of which were not obvious in our recognition. We then went to see the rather crude, avant guarde, drawings of McCarthy (not McCartney). The drawings were strikingly sexual and angry in tone and implementation. Most definitely explicit and not for the timid or prudish. Some younger visitors might be upset. All in all worth the trip and visit. The voting at the museum actually added to the spectacle, and the length of the line the youthful age of the voters looked like a wonderful awakening of civic duty.
