When you hear the word “Mona” in regards to art, your first thought is probably of Mona Lisa. But some people in Los Angeles, California might think of the Museum of Neon Art, also known as MONA.
Located at 136 West 4th Street, this completely unique museum is dedicated to the preservation, compilation and understanding of neon art. The museum was founded in 1981and features exhibits created entirely of neon lights. The exhibitions are characterized by remarkable fluorescence, flashing and ferocity.
Through its collection of signs, light fixtures and sculptures, the museum is an exhilarating culmination of art, history and science all in one. As you walk through the dimly lit gallery, the luminous glow of the exhibits is alluring and exudes a psychedelic aura. The Museum of Modern Art is taking spreading its glow over to Glendale’s Cultural Arts District when it relocates come 2012.
The shining beacon that will remain the same is the iconic neon version of the Mona Lisa hanging outside the museum. The Museum of Neon Art is a refreshing take on the typical museum experience. For more information, call 213-489-9918.
