"A trio of prominent museum openings is expected in Los Angeles in 2026. Perhaps the most anticipated is the expansion of the (Lacma). Its new David Geffen Galleries-designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor and under construction since 2020-will almost double the museum's total gallery space with an added 110,000 sq. ft floating over Wilshire Boulevard. The Lacma expansion opens in April and also includes a theatre, education spaces, restaurants, gift shop and 3.5 acres of art-filled public outdoor space."
"The film director George Lucas, whose extensive art collection will be housed in the new $1bn museum, has called the 300,000 sq. ft building "a temple to the people's art". Designed by Ma Yansong of the firm Mad Architects, the futuristic space in Exposition Park will feature more than 30 gallery spaces populated with everything from Star Wars memorabilia to ancient sculptures to digital art and immersive recreations of prehistoric cave paintings."
