The wonderfully Engrish titled show Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: The Super Live is coming to LA! We held off on telling you about in the states as it was going to ever major city, but LA. Now, the totally awkward titled show added two showings to The Music Center's Ahmanson Theatre for March 22 at 2:00pm and 7:30pm. Looks like it might be sold out, but the web-site sucks at conveying that.

The Butterfly Pavilion will take flight at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) for the spring and summer months starting Sunday, March 23, with previews for members beginning March 21. Visitors are able to walk among hundreds of butterflies in NHM’s outdoor, open-air netted enclosure. The seasonal experience also features colorful native plants and plenty of natural light to help guests see these creatures flutter and fly.
Visitors can expect to see the stages of the butterfly lifecycle — from eggs to caterpillars and chrysalises — for up to 30 different species, including California natives like the Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa) and Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui). Exotic butterflies like the Malachite (Siproeta stelenes) and Blue Morpho (Morpho peleides) can also be seen fluttering in the pavilion space. Museum educators will also be stationed inside the Butterfly Pavilion to answer visitors’ questions and share what makes these winged creatures so special.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Zheng Chongbin: Golden State, which spotlights artist Zheng Chongbin’s explorations of water, light, movement, and California’s natural landscape. This exhibition marks the artist’s largest solo presentation in the U.S. to date and the first major showcase of his work with colored pigments.
