LA카운티미술관(LACMA) 뉴 데이빗게펜 갤러리 4/19 오픈...서도호 작 '경복중 자경전' 설치
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has announced the official opening of the David Geffen Galleries on April 19, 2026. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor, the 900-foot-long horizontal structure spans Wilshire Boulevard and features a single elevated exhibition level for the museum’s permanent collection. The inaugural installation, curated by a collaborative team of 45 specialists, rejects traditional chronological or geographical hierarchies in favor of a thematic approach centered around global oceanic frameworks.
This opening marks the culmination of a two-decade transformation for the largest art museum in the western United States. By placing all cultures and eras on a single level, the architectural design physically manifests a shift toward a more equitable, global art historical narrative. The project represents a significant moment for Los Angeles's cultural infrastructure, utilizing a high-profile public-private partnership to redefine how encyclopedic collections are experienced in the 21st century.
