NOVA EXHIBITION – The Moment Music Stood Still- Now thru Oct. 8

After drawing more than 113,000 visitors in three months in New York, this powerful exhibit comes to Los Angeles. Commemorating the day when thousands of young fans gathered to celebrate life and music in Re'im Israel at the Nova Music Festival, the display illustrates how a peaceful gathering turned violent when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and murdered 370 festival attendees, abducting over 250 individuals (including 44 from the fest). Providing a sacred space to remember victims and survivors via remnants salvaged from the festival grounds and personal belongings, it's a somber and thoughtful experience that needs to be seen. A healing tent/ lighthouse declaring “we will dance again,” is also part of the set-up adding a message of hope. Runs through Oct. 8. 8631 Hayden Place, Culver City.
