Watch LACMA Documentaries and Short Films Online
LACMA has a wide selection of videos to watch about the artworks and artists in our collection. Below we've included some of our favorite collections from LACMA's past and present.
Featured Video: Damascus Room
This video covers the recent and more distant history of an eighteenth-century period room and its remarkable journey from Damascus to Los Angeles. It documents a four-year long process of study and conservation at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Now restored, the room exudes a kind of grace, warmth and beauty, which is in keeping with its original function as a place for welcoming guests.
LACMA's Artists on Art videos offer insights into works in the museum's encyclopedic collection that have inspired and informed artists working today.
An award-winning extension of the museum’s film initiative, LACMA Productions commissions emerging and mid-career filmmakers to make short documentaries on contemporary artists such as James Turrell, Catherine Opie, and John Baldassari.
