Two men built famous parks in this county a few miles apart, and the museum argues they were working from a shared idea about what a designed landscape could do to a visitor. The show sets Walt Disney beside Hubert Eaton, who turned a Glendale cemetery into a park of sculpture and stained glass, and traces what the museum calls the philosophical and artistic parallels between them. Admission is free, the museum sits next to the Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection, and the exhibition opens September

What to expect

A single-gallery museum show of archival material and objects tracing the two men, inside a free museum on the Forest Lawn Glendale grounds. The Hall of Crucifixion-Resurrection and the Last Supper Window are on the same site and keep their own hours.
