The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has unveiled the David Geffen Galleries, designed by Peter Zumthor, marking a significant step forward in its ambitious transformation. Scheduled to welcome visitors starting summer 2025, the striking new structure features an exhibition space of over 10,000 square meters. The galleries will host a variety of artworks from LACMA’s collection and will include sonic previews led by renowned musician Kamasi Washington. Named after major donors, the galleries aim to unify the museum's previous spaces while providing an innovative cultural space in Los Angeles.
Before the galleries are filled with thousands of artworks from LACMA's encyclopedic collection, the museum offers a series of 'sonic previews' to animate the raw architecture.
Floating over Wilshire Boulevard like a contemporary bridge, Zumthor's building replaces four aging structures with a single, unified gallery space.
