Hammer Museum. 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles. Rembrandt van Rijn was a prolific printmaker and created about 300 etchings over the course of his long career. This exhibition includes a variety of etchings with subjects ranging from religious narratives to figure studies and landscape. What’s even more fascinating is that the exhibition also features different impressions of the same print, inviting you to closely compare the compositions and see how the artist experimented with each individual impression. 310-443-7000. hammer.ucla.edu. Wheelchair Accessible. Shark Lagoon Nights Every Friday through April 9. 6 – 9pm. Aquarium of the Pacific. 100 Aquarium Way, Long Beach.

This is your opportunity to touch bamboo sharks and see large sharks like sandtigers, and rays in the Aquarium’s Shark Lagoon. Coffee, hot cocoa, beer, wine, desserts, and snacks are available for purchase. 562-590-3100. aquariumofpacific.org. Wheelchair Accessible. Tapes ‘n Tapes January 24. Doors at 8pm. El Rey Theatre. 5515 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles. Okay okay – so we know that some of the best indie rock bands hail outta Minneapolis, MN. We’re not here to argue that; we know they’ve got the market cornered. And Tapes ‘n Tapes is no exception to the rule. But can we Los Angelenos at least claim fame to having a sweet venue to catch them at? The El Rey is an original art deco theatre in the heart of Miracle Mile, one of LA’s preserved art deco districts. If you can peel your eyes away from the band for a minute, check out that awesome chandelier dangling overhead. Special guests: Wild Light and Wavves (two more super awesome bands, FYI). theelrey.com. Wheelchair Accessible. All information subject to change.
