The David Geffen Galleries opened their doors to the public on Monday, May 4, 2026 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) culminating a two-decade campus transformation. LA's newest art landmark is located on the Miracle Mile next to the LaBrea Tar Pits which was the author's first school field trip. In addition to the galleries and public exterior art, are 3.5 acres of shade, perfect for those sunny SoCal days. The inaugural display "explores networks of exchange around bodies of water—Atlantic, Mediterranean, Indian, and Pacific—creating unexpected visual and thematic connections across time and geography".
