LACMA plans to reopen in 2023, in concert with the opening of the Purple Line’s Wilshire/Fairfax subway station, which will be just steps away

LACMA will also bring its art to new parts of the city and existing sites in South Los Angeles and the Charles White Elementary School Gallery near MacArthur Park.
