Things to do in Burbank

The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) is a marvelous contemporary art museum in Los Angeles, California that has three locations throughout the city, with the main branch on Grand Avenue in downtown, by the Disney Concert Hall, the original location that had been just temporary facility that would house temporary exhibits while the main branch was in construction and is now called the Geffen Contemporary in Little Tokyo and the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. The museum's exhibits has been mainly of European and American contemporary artworks that have been created since 1940. The Geffen, although it wouldn't be called that until 1996, would open in 1983, while the main branch was being planned and built; and house temporary exhibitions, with the first show being a collaborative effort by Frank O. Gehry, John Adams and Lucinda Childs and called Available Light. It would be followed by The First Show by Julia Brown that would be called the inaugural exhibition. The structure that housed the museum was built in the 1940s as a hardware store and then it would become a city warehouse and police car garage, becoming known locally as the TC, and leased from the city. Frank Gehry, the southern California architect would rejuvenate the Albert C. Martin designed 1947 Union Hardware structures, leaving the interiors alone and concentrating on the exterior where he would install new entrance doors and construct a canopy of chain-link fencing and steel trusses that would cover the closed off street and create a partially shaded plaza of sorts. Inside, there are two huge, open galleries, that are lit up by industrial wire-glass skylights and a row of clerestory windows that are found along the south wall. The elaborate structural network of steel beams and supports were left alone, so that they could be used as supports for the numerous movable display walls that would add a unique sculptural effect. Also left over from the old days was a steel crane rail, to enhance the sculptural effect, and the loading docks were transformed into the lobby area. The building would captivate many critics and patrons with its easy access, lack of pretense and its informalness, giving the entire space a special feeling of space and art, entwined in the unique environment. A few newspaper writers would call it a success and would definitely become well attended, which it has and did. Because of this early and continued enjoyment and popularity, the museum's board asked the city to extend their lease, which they did, in 1986, and again in 1996. That same year, the facility would be given a $5 million gift from the David Geffen Foundation for its endowment drive and because of this outstanding gift, the museum's name would be changed to the Geffen. It is the biggest MOCA space, of all three locations, and is just the perfect venue for large installations, sculptural works and conceptual, multi-media or electronic installations. The museum uses its spaces for more modern works, and quite often by lesser known artists, as well as works that need a large space to showcase the works. In fact, there are many of the exhibits that have been created specifically so that they would be shown in the Geffen.

American Animated Film Society Museum
The American Animated Film Society Museum (ASIFA) has been dedicating itself to becoming one the most significant organizations in the world that promotes the industry and art of animation, and has been doing it for more than half a century. The society has managed to set trends and start various institutions, as well as begin an industry or more. Animation cels were never considered to be collectibles until the society started offering them for sale, and awards were given to the venue only as a token, until the Annie Awards were introduced. These two events would stir the guiding forces of the society that would evolve into Anifest, the Animation Opportunities Expo, historical screenings and presentations, the Animation Archive, classes, and publications like the Graffiti and Inbetweener. The folks that became involved in the program were well known Hollywood types that had been in the business for years and included; Mark Hamill, Roy Disney, June Foray, Stan Lee, Ward Kimball, Bill Scott, Frank and Ollie, Gary Owens, Steven Bosustow, Chuck Jones, Tom Kenny, Bill Littlejohn, Seth Green and even famous actors like William Shatner and actress Phyllis Diller. For fifty years, the society has been likened to the little train that could and did, stand alone in their mission to promote, foster and recognize the magnificent art and history of animation. From their beginning in the 1960s, the society has become the screening society and purveyor of the Annie Awards, the most prestigious award dedicated to the art of animation and its continued establishment of the world's most comprehensive and complete archive of animation history and materials in the nation, and it is still one of the most proactive organizations in the world. It is one of the most exciting and interesting "new" ideas to hit Hollywood and the film industry, with the finest library and archives in the world devoted to animation, that is always striving to improve the magic and delight of those interested in the art. Their archives take us back to the early days of animation, which many of us will recall would become the impetus to the incredible animated movies put out by such greats as Walt Disney, and others who have been lost over time to the immediate popularity of the magical characters of today, that all got their start much more than half a century ago. It is an art form that has grown in popularity and will continue to strive for the stars, bringing out younger and more imaginative artists that had their early successes and failures to learn from. One such celebrity mentioned on the website of this fantastic organization is Mary Blair, who had worked with the Disney company during the 1940s and 1950s, although her two best works are still not available to the public, which includes a set of murals she painted at the entrance to Tomorrowland in Disneyland that were eventually covered up by a more modern rendition of Star Wars and the other is a book that has become very collectible, called Little Verses that was a Golden Book and has been out of print for four decades now. The story had been serialized in the children's magazine, Highlights that was published during the early 1960s. It is a marvelous work, filled with colorful animation and details. It is awesome that books and art like this is still available, if only in a museum, which is the perfect place for them to be viewed and enjoyed by millions from all over the world.

Los Angeles Zoo
The Los Angeles Zoo was started in 1966 in Los Angeles, California and occupies 113 acres of landscaped grounds, owned by the city, all of it, including the animals, staffed by city employees that take care of everything. The zoo is situated in Griffith Park, and houses 1100 animals that have come here from across the globe, actually opening in 1912 and some two miles north of where it is today. The remains of that former zoo would be used in the movie, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, while the present site was formerly the location of the Rodger Young village that had been constructed on the site that had been the location of the Griffith Park Aerodome. The zoo has been a marvelous and benevolent breeding program of the California Condor, the world's biggest bird, and has helped that magnificent creature grow from just 22 in the 1980s to more than 330 today. It is also one of the few zoos in the world that have mountain tapirs. Another interesting fact is that in the 1971 film of the Escape from the Planet of the Apes, the characters Cornelius and Zira would be quarantined for a short while at the zoo. They would open Chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains in 1998, then the Red Ape Rainforest in 2000, the Komodo dragon exhibit and the Winnick Family children zoo in 2001. The Entry Plaza, the Sea Lion cliffs and the Discovery Center would open in 2005, the Campo Gorilla Reserve in November 2007 and Elephants of Asia in the winter of 2010. The zoo would be named a botanical garden in 2002, so the official name would be changed to the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens, with 15 unique collections spread around its acreage, that showcase more than 800 different plant species that total more than 7400 beautiful plants.
