About Forest Lawn Museum
Forest Lawn Museum sits inside the Forest Lawn Memorial-Parks cemetery in Glendale and presents its art collection to the public. Its stated purpose is to educate and inspire visitors through artwork, exhibits, and programs on history, culture, and religion. Current displays include an exhibition on the connection between Walt Disney and cemetery founder Hubert Eaton, and a companion show marking the 75th anniversary of the museum and the nearby Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection. Visitors can also visit that hall, which holds large religious paintings and offers a short presentation on its two works at set times, and can explore the collection through a free digital guide.
