Join fellow village members for a trip to explore the Forest Lawn Museum and their exhibit "Grand Views: The Immersive World of Panoramas." Grand Views features an array of artworks and artifacts spanning the late 18th century to present, including never-before-displayed preparatory paintings, 19th century prints and posters, a painting movie backdrop and more.

A centerpiece of the exhibition is Panorama of the Valley of the Smokes (60 ft x 5 ft), painted by Sara Velas (Founder of the Velaslavasay Panorama) in the year 2000. The Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection, located next to Forest Lawn Museum, displays the Crucifixion (195 ft x 45 ft), which was painted by Polish artist Jan Styka in the 1890s. You have to see the scale of these works to appreciate the mastery that went into them.  

We will carpool to the museum and then to a no-host lunch at the Tam O' Shanter Restaurant in Glendale.  Delighting diners for 100 years, the Tam O’Shanter is Los Angeles’ oldest restaurant operated by the same family in the same location (Most entrees are $15-35 or you can splurge on Prime Rib for $40-60). Free; Pay-for-your-own lunch.

The Village Staff will help arrange the carpool from the Village Office, plan to leave at 9:45 AM.

If you have any questions, please contact LuCinda Haagenson.
