According to one survey, the average annual cost of nursing home care is $74,806 (this figure can fluctuate depending on the level of care required).

Renoir at the LACMA Second trip! It's not too late!

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Guide: McNeil SargentOffered for a limited time—don’t miss this incredible exhibit! Renoir in the 20th Century looks at the last three decades of his career when “he turned to an art that was decorative, classical, and informed by a highly personal interpretation of the Great Tradition.” Because these works do not fit into the history of high modernism, they are often misunderstood. This is the first monographic study dedicated to Renoir since the comprehensive retrospective of 1985 in Paris. And, it is the first exhibit ever mounted by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Find out how this exhibition bridges the divide that exists between art of the 19th and 20th Centuries. Other special exhibitions include American Stories: Paintings of Everyday Life (1765-1915), and Contemporary Projects 12: Robin Rhode. Additional collections at the LACMA include: African, American, Latin American, Egyptian, Islamic, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese art; art of the ancient Americas, the ancient Near East, and the Pacific; contemporary and modern art; costumes and textiles; decorative arts and design; European paintings and sculpture; German Expressionist art; Greek, Roman, and Etruscan art; prints and drawings; South and Southeast Asian art; and the Wallis Annenberg photography department. There will be a no-host lunch.
