The Glendale Historical Society Presents
In partnership with Forest Lawn-Glendale
“The Sculptures of Forest Lawn”
Please join The Glendale Historical Society as we once again partner with Forest Lawn-Glendale for two incredible events, “Sculptures of Forest Lawn” lecture and tour. These experiences are meant to be enjoyed as a series and you won’t want to miss either one.
Ticketed Lecture and Tour
Part One: Lecture
On Thursday evening, March 26, 2020, 7:00 to 9:00 pm, participants will enjoy a lecture by Dr. James Fishburne, Director of the Museum, about the background and history of the vast collection of statuary on display and in the archives of Forest Lawn. The lecture will be held at the beautiful Wee Kirk o’ the Heather church at Forest Lawn, Glendale.
Part Two: The Tour
On Saturday, March 28, 2020, 1:00 – 3:00 pm, participants will enjoy a private tour of the Great Mausoleum as docents from Forest Lawn and The Glendale Historical Society take us into areas of the structure that are no longer open to the general public on a daily basis. Here we will see some of the finest examples of statuary in the world and experience first-hand the exquisite beauty of this art form. Following the tour we will have a reception with appetizers and wine in the Memorial Court of Honor below the beautiful stained glass replica of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” Parking is available on the street surrounding the entrance to the Great Mausoleum.
Note: It is important to know the participants at the lecture and in the tour of the Great Mausoleum need to be mobile since there are stairs, trip hazards, and no handicap access.
