Florence + The Machine At LACMA: Benefit To Honor Ed Ruscha & Stanley Kubrick

This event makes Coachella look cheap.

Leonardo DiCaprio is throwing a party at LACMA, and you're not invited -- unless you can cough up at least $5,000 for a ticket.

That's a pricey fee to see witchy crooner Florence + The Machine rock out at the museum's hallowed halls (especially considering the band will be at the Hollywood Bowl earlier that month for much, much less). But all the money that LACMA's second annual Art + Film gala will raise helps to bridge the gap between LACMA and Hollywood, an effort that has brought Angelenos unforgettable exhibits like "Tim Burton."

LACMA trustee and art collector Eva Chow is co-chairing the Oct. 27 event, which will honor artist Ed Ruscha and iconic filmmaker Stanley Kubrick for their work and call attention to their upcoming exhibits at the museum: "Ed Ruscha: Standard" (Sept. 22, 2012 - Jan. 21, 2013) and "Stanley Kubrick" (Nov. 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013). Uber-director Steven Spielberg will also be there to honor Kubrick's work with his own personal tribute.

And now the details, for the one percent of our readers who are considering attending this high-art shindig:
