At the end of this year, LACMA is now focusing on replacing the four aging buildings on the east campus (the Ahmanson, Art of the Americas, and Hammer Buildings, as well as the Leo S. Bing Center) with a new home for the permanent collection that will breathe new life into 6,000 years of art.
Sorry if this sort of post is not accepted on this sub, these buildings WILL be lost soon. I talked to a LACMA employee and they’re starting the demolition process at the end of this year. So if anyone lives live around the area, I would recommend to not only observe the museum pieces, but also the architecture before it gets demolished. The new proposed building is designed by Peter Zumthor.
