THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART (THE "MUSEUM") IS THE PREMIER ENCYCLOPEDIC ART MUSEUM IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION OF MORE THAN 120,000 ARTWORKS FROM AROUND THE WORLD SPANS THE HISTORY OF ART, FROM ANCIENT TO CONTEMPORARY TIMES, INCLUDING ESPECIALLY STRONG COLLECTIONS OF ASIAN, LATIN AMERICAN, EUROPEAN, AND AMERICAN ART. THROUGH ITS VARIED COLLECTIONS, THE MUSEUM IS BOTH A RESOURCE TO AND A REFLECTION OF THE MANY CULTURAL COMMUNITIES AND HERITAGES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THIS FISCAL YEAR, THE MUSEUM MOUNTED 38 EXHIBITIONS AND PERMANENT COLLECTION INSTALLATIONS, ACQUIRED 1,431 NEW WORKS OF ART, PROVIDED PROGRAMS FOR 96,848 SCHOOL CHILDREN.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
THE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO AND DIRECTOR OF LACMA IS DETERMINED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, WITHIN THE PARAMETERS ESTABLISHED BY THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY LACMA AND THE CEO AND DIRECTOR IN 2010. THE DIRECTOR ANNUALLY DETERMINES THE COMPENSATION OF EACH OF THE OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES. IN EACH CASE, THE COMPENSATION IS BASED ON (1) THE EMPLOYEE'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE PRIOR YEAR; (2) THE CONTEXT OF LACMA'S OVERALL OPERATING BUDGET; AND (3) COMPARABILITY DATA FOR PERSONS HOLDING SIMILAR POSITIONS IN SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS. SUCH COMPARABILITY DATA IS GENERALLY PREPARED BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND THE DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND INCLUDES A REVIEW OF PUBLICLY FILED FORMS 990 OF OTHER INSTITUTIONS.
