Unlike so many modern art museums, with their half-assed, 1-painting-every-10-feet exhibit rooms, the minds behind LACMA’s new Tim Burton display have made it a fully immersive event. From the crooked walls which compliment his labyrinthine mind, to a giant monster mouth you must brave to get there — suburbanites and city-slickers alike are being plucked from their ordinary world and thrown into the strange. Consider it less a museum space than sanctuary inside Burton’s pleasantly twisted brain.
