The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is preparing to open its newly constructed David Geffen Galleries to the public on May 4. This eagerly awaited debut is the result of an extensive effort to replace the museum’s previous buildings with a contemporary and larger facility.
Architect Peter Zumthor designed the new galleries, which have been described as a ‘curvaceous concrete sandwich.’ This unique architectural style has already ignited a variety of critiques and conversations among art enthusiasts and experts.
The opening of the David Geffen Galleries represents a significant milestone in LACMA’s ongoing capital projects, promising to enhance the museum’s ability to display its vast collection in a more innovative space.
