Yoko Ono will present her first solo museum exhibition in Southern California at the Broad museum in Los Angeles, opening May 23 and running through October 11, 2026. Titled “Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind,” the interactive show is organized in collaboration with Tate Modern in London and will feature outdoor “wish trees” made from the museum’s olive trees, instruction-based works from the mid-1950s to the present, and materials from her peace campaigns with John Lennon.
The exhibition matters because it brings Ono’s participatory, peace-oriented art to Los Angeles at a moment of social division, offering audiences a sense of agency and connection. The Broad rearranged its calendar to accommodate the show, underscoring the timeliness of Ono’s message. It also highlights her enduring influence as a Fluxus pioneer and activist, transforming viewers from observers into active participants.
