The Museum of Broken Relationships grew from a traveling exhibition revolving around the concept of failed relationships and their ruins. The museum offers a chance to overcome an emotional collapse through creation: by contributing to the permanent collection. Although often colored by personal experience, local culture and history, the exhibits presented here form universal patterns offering us to discover them and feel the comfort they can bring. Visitors are encouraged to be active participants in curating the new exhibition. Whatever the motivation for donating personal belongings – be it sheer exhibitionism, therapeutic relief, or simple curiosity, people are challenged to embrace the idea of exhibiting their love legacy as a sort of ritual, a solemn ceremony. The act of donation invites the viewer to participate in a preemptive archaeology that chronicles and the displays the items that are of the greatest importance to us now. Hopefully, the objects will also inspire our personal search for deeper insights and strengthen our belief in something more meaningful.

MODA Hollywood (Museum Of Digital Art) DIG-IT-AL! MODA Hollywood is a creative space in Hollywood dedicated to digital art. (although, every art medium and form is encouraged) We want to document how the digital revolution will affect artists in the future and impact the art world. "Museum" comes from an Ancient Greek word used to name one of the worlds first great centers of study and learning, (around 300 BC). "The Musaeum" at Alexandria, Egypt, translates as; "Institution of the Muses". - A sacred place devoted to learning and the arts. It was under the divine protection and inspiration of the Muses. The Musaeum was like a small university and included The Library of Alexandria. MODA Hollywood will embrace the original meaning for "museum". Rather than fill its rooms collecting "objects" and "things", MODA wants to inspire people's creativity. It should be a mecca for artists who want to use the space to work on new ideas, collaborate with other artists, create art performances, sell art and display their work to others. Art that is exhibited or performed will be digitally documented for the museum. Later it will be shown on digital screens, using virtual reality or with 3-D imaging technology developed in the future. This is how a digital museum collection will be assembled in the 21st century... MODA is a space for designers, dancers & divas in Los Angeles who consider themselves artists and what they do a form of art. This includes not just paintings and sculpture, but would include anything from a fierce haircut, a food recipe, clothing design, song etc. In this era of "Mediacracy", where everyone can have a blog or website to promote themselves, we are looking for superior talent - people who have something to show or say that would be interesting to more than just their mothers. MODA Hollywood's other goal is to give a new meaning to what digital art is. Since an artist's final product is usually a digital file, (and most digital art is made as a digital file), the idea of selling art as digital files is promoted. (a new medium for art) - In 2016, MODA will continue to explain the advantages to selling art as digital files and how it will work. The Digital connection - The ultimate goal is creating a community digital billboard where LA artists can exhibit their art to the public. (In the future, everyone will be an "Artist", - for 15 seconds...) Money will be raised for this sign and each artist that qualifies will get 15 seconds to display their art on it. Up to now, artists could display their art to the public with large murals painted on buildings. With a digital billboard, many more artists could be represented in public art.

The Los Angeles Fire Department Museum and Memorial is located at Old Engine Co. No. 27, also known as Fire Station No. 27, on Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood. The museum houses old fire engines and fire apparatus, some dating from the 1880s. The museum also houses a reference library and fire safety learning center. The building was named a Los Angeles Cultural-Heritage Monument in 1976 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The Fallen Firefighters Memorial in front of the station consists of a memorial wall listing all of the Los Angeles firefighters who have died in the line of duty and five life-size statues of firefighters.History of Engine Co. No. 27At 20000sqft, the Italian Renaissance revival building housing Engine Co. No. 27 was the largest fire station west of the Mississippi River when it opened in July 1930. For more than 60 years, the old fire station served the Hollywood community, including the motion picture studios and the stars who lived in the Hollywood Hills. It was also used a movie location by, among others, The Three Stooges and Buster Keaton. The use of the building as both a movie location and a working fire station sometimes led to difficulties. In 1937, a real fire broke out while a Hollywood studio was filming the motion picture, "Two Platoons", at Fire Station No. 27. The Los Angeles Times reported on the incident this way:"The entire crew was on hand as atmosphere and the equipment served as a background. Dick Foran and Robert Armstrong were in the middle of a scene when the alarm sounded. Moviemaking meant nothing in the life of Battalion Chief Rothermel at that moment. Before (director John) Farrow could finish the sequence, the fire engines were speeding on their way to a brush fire in the Hollywood Hills. The movie company had to wait an hour before action could be resumed."
