Pictograms: Iconic Japanese Designs explores how Japan has shaped the global use of pictograms as a universal visual language. Used daily in transportation, technology, and public spaces, pictograms communicate across cultures through clarity and simplicity. The exhibition highlights Japan’s design tradition, focused on precision, balance, and refinement, and its lasting influence on visual communication worldwide.
Academy Museum
Admission
Following the Academy Museum’s inaugural exhibition, Hayao Miyazaki in 2021, Studio Ghibli’s PONYO will celebrate Studio Ghibli and the many elements of the traditional hand-drawn animation processes used throughout the film Ponyo (2008). The magical water worlds, the unique flowing aesthetic of hand-painted drawings, and the film’s themes of transformation, human connections, and joy will be on full display. Visitors will be invited to explore the enchanting world of Ponyo through hands-on experiences designed for all ages. These include an interactive animation table, where guests can create their own animated sequences, and a playful, immersive environment that allows younger visitors to step into the magical oceanic world of the film.
USC Pacific Asia Museum (USC PAM)
Admission
Spanning 12 rooms, Mythical Creatures is sweeping yet intimate, its narrative written in verse on gallery walls in a voice evocative of a wise elder to a loved one. The exhibition draws approximately 100 objects from USC PAM’s significant collection — which spans more than 5,000 years and includes art from East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, and the Pacific Islands and their diasporas — blending them with new media technology and works by more than 20 contemporary artists, including several commissions. The result is an interdisciplinary experience in which visitors engage with the past not only through didactic explanation, but through creative activations of pan-Asian mythology that ignite feeling and memory.

Graceful Gale seizes the baton and turns the room—and you—into her
orchestra; clutch a single red glowstick for The Search for Mary,
weaving with your sweetheart through shadowed corridors in pursuit of
mischievous Scary Mary; then brave Sweethearts’ Slaughterhouse, where
you’ll peek past swinging kitchen doors, decode the Chef’s love-letter

Love is in the air and on the big screen, courtesy of the world’s largest collection of movie trailers at the Academy Film Archive. This vintage compendium of coming attractions explores the agony and the ecstasy of art-house amour, from red-blooded lust and lovelorn lotharios to feverish melodramas and tortured obsessions. Presented entirely on 35mm film, these preshow entertainments of the last several decades function as miniature films in their own right—many of which haven’t been seen since they originally screened in theaters.

Made in L.A. 2025 is the seventh iteration of the Hammer’s signature biennial exhibition that showcases artists practicing throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The 28 participants in the exhibition present work not only made in the city but also grounded in its complex and unfolding terrain. Neither myth nor monolith, Los Angeles is many things to many people, and its dissonance is perhaps its most distinguishing feature. The works presented in this year’s biennial include film, painting, theater, choreography, photography, sculpture, sound, and video. Attitude draws them together: Each engages with this city in ways alternately literal, formal, material, and metaphoric. Conceived or made in Los Angeles, they are of this city and nowhere else.
