Yoko Ono's first solo museum exhibition in Southern California, 'Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind,' opens at The Broad in Los Angeles on May 23, 2026. The exhibition, organized with Tate Modern, features interactive works from the 1950s onward, including the outdoor Wish Tree installation, text-based pieces from her book 'Grapefruit,' and collaborative anti-war works with John Lennon like 'Bed Peace.'
The exhibition marks a significant moment for Ono's recognition in a major U.S. art center, highlighting her enduring influence as a pioneer of conceptual and participatory art. Its timing and location are seen as particularly resonant, leveraging Los Angeles's experimental spirit to engage audiences directly with themes of hope, connection, and social activism that define her six-decade career.
