"The new Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is ready to welcome its first visitors to its decades-in-the-making new flagship building, designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor."
"Inside, Zumthor's architecture sweeps you along like a river-but it's a river with plenty of eddies. It's meant to let you get lost in little detours."
"CEO and director Michael Govan's vision includes using this revamped architecture to refresh the museum's presentation of history. Contemporary art mixes in with classical sculpture."
"The build-up for the Zumthor opening included plenty of criticism and second-guessing of the indefatigable Govan's passion project. Now the public gets to see for itself."
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art's new flagship building, designed by Peter Zumthor, features concrete-and-glass galleries that create an organic, spacey profile. Visitors can explore a variety of interior spaces, with ample natural light and shadow. The museum aims to refresh its presentation of history by mixing contemporary art with classical sculpture, ensuring a dynamic experience. The layout encourages exploration and surprise, with a geographical organization that defies traditional boundaries. Public anticipation has been met with a mix of excitement and skepticism regarding the project.
