LACMA Unveils New David Geffen Galleries with Innovative Design
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has opened its new David Geffen Galleries, a project over 20 years in the making. Designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, the galleries replace much of LACMA's mid-century campus with a single, expansive structure. The design aims to create a museum without hierarchy, integrating artworks from various geographies and time periods. The galleries feature a plaza installation by artist Mariana Castillo Deball, which incorporates native animal tracks and Mesoamerican motifs, reflecting the cultural and historical layers of Los Angeles. The galleries will open to the public on May 4, following a preview period for members.
