"The new David Geffen Galleries form a cultural complex comprising a 900-foot-long, horizontal glass-and-concrete building with open plazas and new outdoor public spaces."
"The interior is organized into galleries of varied scales, configurations, and lighting conditions, including both sheltered interior galleries and terrace galleries."
"The floor plan does not dictate a specific route for visitors but instead provides an open environment for exploration, encouraging personal discovery and curatorial freedom."
"The elevated floor is supported by seven pavilions and shaded open spaces that accommodate public art, education and public programs, a theater, retail, and restaurants."
The David Geffen Galleries at LACMA opened on April 19, 2026, designed by Peter Zumthor. The building features a single-level open space for the museum's permanent collection, showcasing 155,000 objects across 6,000 years of art history. The flexible layout encourages exploration and accommodates diverse curatorial projects. The structure includes a 900-foot-long glass-and-concrete design with elevated exhibition floors, offering views of Los Angeles. The ground plane features a commissioned artwork by Mariana Castillo Deball, enhancing the cultural complex's public engagement.
