The “Let’s fly – art has no limits” traveling exhibit opened its doors to Los Angeles earlier this year on Oct. 30. And in case you haven’t already seen it, those doors will stay open through the new year until March 16, 2025.
Visitors can stroll through 21 different works in the award winning museum made by artists all over the world.
