What do lipstick and stolen art have to do with World War II? History and non-history buffs alike will be intrigued by this and hundreds of other answers in this special exhibit. “Secrets of WWII” takes you past the who, what, when, where and why of the war. Explore controversies, exclusive artifacts, unsung heroes and too-shocking-to-be-true events. Go beyond the WWII history textbooks, plus view other interesting exhibits.

• Open daily, 10 AM–5 PM, except Thursdays (until 4 PM)
• Exhibit open through October 9

Take your weekend up a notch at The Canyon. Dubbed “Where music meets the soul®,” the famous spot has eight locations all over SoCal—but the real party’s in Agoura Hills. Grab a friend, grab a drink and head to the stage for live music. This summer’s lineup boasts Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, Richie Kotzen, L.A. Guns and The Bacon Brothers. More comfortable at home? You can live-stream shows from your couch—even past gigs.
