Forest Lawn held its first Easter sunrise service in 1924. In order to celebrate this centennial, Forest Lawn Museum is hosting a pop-up exhibition that features paintings, photographs, and ephemera from our archives. The exhibit tells the story of a celebration that grew from a few hundred people to more than 30,000 attendees. 100 Years of Easter at Forest Lawn is on view from March 31-July 28, 2024.
