Benjamin Creme Museum

In Los Angeles, the Benjamin Creme Museum is an art museum focused on the work and ideas of Benjamin Creme, an artist, author, speaker, and longtime editor of Share International magazine. Its subject includes Creme's paintings, which express abstract esoteric principles through symbolic forms. The museum's material connects his art with the Ageless Wisdom tradition and theosophical ideas associated with artists such as Kandinsky, Mondrian, Malevich, and Klee. Creme began his esoteric painting period in 1964, using art to give physical expression to ideas explored through meditation, contemplation, and study. His wider work also addressed Maitreya the World Teacher and the Masters of Wisdom, and included Transmission Meditation, a group meditation practice he introduced in 1974.
