LACMA claims to exhibit nearly the entire history of art from almost every continent. The Japanese Pavilion, for instance, houses works created in the Far East around 3,000 B.C. The collection of African art includes wooden masks and ritual objects, while the collection of German Expressionism covers the most important works by luminaries such as Dix, Kandinsky, and Nolde. The numbers speak for themselves—around 100,000 works of art attract one million visitors each year.
