Long Beach museum of art

The Long Beach Museum of Art (LBMA) was among the first to focus on video as an artistic medium, spurring similar efforts throughout the United States. Beginning in 1974 the museum began collecting and exhibiting video art, later also actively encouraging the development of video art by co-producing projects and offering editing facilities to artists in its Video Annex. The museum's innovative approaches to the display of video art included several experiments with broadcast and cable television. Through this long-standing commitment, LBMA developed one of the most significant video collections in the country. The museum acquired the video archive of the Los Angeles Woman's Building after it closed in 1991.
