The Institute of Musical Arts (IMA) was founded in 1922, as a music training facility, and became the Crenshaw area's primary performing recital hall during the 1940s-60s. In the 1970s, musician-engineer partners, Ray G. Clark and Oliver P. Brown constructed a state-of-the-art recording studio, CBA (Clark-Brown Audio) on the premises.
During the 1970s-80s, the studio played host to a Who's Who listing of musicians, artists, actors, politicians and local activists. Its long list of recording alumni include, Marvin Gaye, Bobby Womack, Nancy Wilson, Ernie Watts, Billy Davis, Ndugu Chancler, and Patrice Rushen.
In 1988, the City of Los Angeles bestowed upon IMA and CBA "Historical-Cultural Monument" status, and it continued, through the 1990s, it's tradition of providing progressive programs that benefit and influence the surrounding Greater-Crenshaw community.
IMA underwent a complete renovation in 2010 and it is now the home of:
The Ray G. Clark Theater, a live-performance venue.
Spoken Word Studios, a state-of-the-art digital recording studio specializing in spoken word performances, radio remotes, podcasts, and audio books.

The Turnblad Mansion finished in 1908 is now the American Swedish Institute on Park Ave in South Minneapolis. It's decorated for the holidays and is a great place to visit.

Not easy to see in its display case, but this is Hercules and the Nemean Lion, carved in wood, after Stefano Maderno (1576-1636). You can also see his reflection and another Hercules wielding his club in another figure on the left.

The United States Institute of Peace is an American non-partisan, independent, federal institution that works to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict around the world. The Institute was established by an act of U.S. Congress that was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. Its headquarters in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C., sits at the northwest corner of the National Mall near the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Designed by Moshe Safdie Architects and Buro Happold, the LEED-certified building aims to serve as symbol of America's commitment to peace building.
The Ayalon Institute was a secret ammunition factory disguised as part of a kibbutz to fool the British back in the 1940s. Jewish people used the factory in their efforts to fight for the independent state of Israel. Organizers went to extreme measures to build and sustain this secret factory within the kibbutz. Between 1945 and 1948, the Ayalon Institute produced more than 2 million 9mm bullets.
During the British mandate, the Jewish people began planning ways to make machinery and guns to fight for independence. While manufacturing guns didn’t prove to be that difficult, it was very challenging to make bullets for the guns.
So, a group of Jewish people decided to build a ammunitions factory under a kibbutz, which is a communal area of land designed for a specific purpose, such as farming. The area was near a British base. In 1945, the group built structures on the surface that resembled a kibbutz and in about three weeks, they built an entire ammunitions factory eight meters underground. The factory was about the size of a tennis court.
The factory stopped operating in 1948, three years after being built. In 1987, the factory was restored and turned into a museum that is now open to the public.

Salk Institute by Louis Kahn
Location: San Diego, CA, USA
Built: 1965
Architect: Louis Kahn
As a big fan of modernism architecture I've always wanted to see and photograph iconic Salk Institute by Louis Kahn. Finally, at this year trip around California I reached to San Diego, and I was really disappointed because it was Memorial Day weekend and... Salk Institute was closed.
So, no photos from beautiful courtyard.
Maybe another time?
Pablo Picasso
Oil on Canvas
Spanish, worked in France, 1881-1973
"The subject of this portrait is the art dealer, writer and publisher Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, who opened his gallery in Paris ins 1907 and began showing Picasso's works in 1908, Kahnweiler introduced the artist to Georges Braque and was a great champion of their Cubist works. The dealer sat as many as 30 times for this portrait. In it, Picasso rejected conventional representation; instead, he fractured and submerged Kahnweiler's form within a network of shimmering, semitransparent planes that emerge with the atmosphere and objects around him. Despite the portrait's highly abstract character, Picasso added physical attributes - a lock of hair and the knot of a tie-to identify his very special subject."

I went a little early to scope the location ahead of time, and while I was walking around, some guy walked up to me and asked me if I could point him in the direction of the theoretical biology department...
Ummm. That way?

It was quickly/skilfully identified by sharon.corbet as the Hevey Institute in Mullingar - which Carol Maddock informs us is now the Coláiste Mhuire (CBS) school.
