LACMA major supporter of Measure R

A whopping $900,000 donation was made this year from the museum's nonprofit Museum Associates to the Yes on Measure R campaign. The coalition has raised $1.7 million in support of a proposed half-percent sales-tax hike for public-transportation projects in Los Angeles County.
