Join us for a tour of Forest Lawn's expansive stained-glass collection, exploring the evolution of the collection over the past 120 years.
JOIN US FOR AN IN-PERSON EVENT AND LIVE-STREAM. $15 GENERAL ADMISSION. CO-SPONSORED BY THE RUSKIN ART CLUB OF LOS ANGELES.
This event is co-sponsored by the Ruskin Art Club of Los Angeles at the historic Judson Studios, 143 Pasadena Avenue, South Pasadena 91030.
With hundreds of windows located in more than a dozen buildings, Forest Lawn has one of the largest collections of stained glass in the United States. These works of art range from 13th-century French windows, to a full-scale stained glass re-creation of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, to 20th-century glass murals saved from destruction. Drawing from the archives of Forest Lawn Museum, this illustrated lecture explores the evolution of the collection over the past 120 years.
James Fishburne is the Director of Forest Lawn Museum. In 2014 he earned his PhD in Italian Renaissance art history from UCLA.

James joined Forest Lawn in 2018 and has curated numerous exhibitions, including "The Elevated Eye: Aerial Photography Past and Present" and “Judson Studios: Stained Glass from Gothic to Street Style.”
