Museum of Latin American Art

While wandering the Museum of Latin American Art's permanent collection of works from artists native to 20 Latin American countries, it might come as a surprise to discover that the space was once home to a roller-skating rink and a silent-movie studio. Its transformation into one of the country's only museums dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American art was the work of physician, philanthropist, and patron of the arts Dr. Robert Gumbiner. He acquired the properties and founded the museum in 1996, revamping the Hippodrome into galleries alive with Latin American music, paintings, and video.

Since that time, the museum has doubled in size, adding a 15,000-square-foot sculpture garden and expanding its collection to include masters such as Rufino Tamayo, Roberto Sebastián Matta, Los Carpinteros, and Tunga. The site now serves as a beacon of Latin American culture, showcasing artists who made names for themselves in their own countries but may not be well known in the United States. Beyond the eye-catching exhibitions, which have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, the museum offers educational programs and events such as concerts and film showings. After a day of sensory stimulation, guests can nosh on enchiladas or carve chicken-mole sandwiches into busts of Frida at the onsite Café Viva.

The Groupon Guide to: Believing in Yourself

The first step toward accomplishing anything is having the confidence in yourself to take the first step toward accomplishing anything—believing in yourself. No matter what the situation, obliterate doubt with these confidence-boosting affirmations:

  • "I am one with a benevolent universe."
  • "I can do anything as long as I can visualize it and throw a predetermined amount of money at the problem."
  • "Every journey of a thousand footsteps begins with one footstep, followed by thousands more cumulatively brutal footsteps, but the first ones will be comparably painless."
  • "You are a soaring eagle, and your obstacles are lowly, pathetic soaring hawks."
  • "Treat every day like it is your birthday, by which I mean, stop paying for that ice-cream sundae."

What are some daily affirmations to help you believe in yourself? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
