Los Angeles museums on the cusp of new golden age
Los Angeles is entering a transformative period of cultural expansion, marked by nearly $3 billion in new museum construction and institutional growth. Key projects include the imminent opening of Peter Zumthor’s $835 million expansion of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the debut of Refik Anadol’s AI-focused Dataland, and the long-awaited opening of George Lucas’s $1 billion Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. These developments, alongside expansions at The Broad and The Huntington, are timed to solidify the city's infrastructure ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics.
