The Geffen Galleries
Peter Zumthor's David Geffen Galleries, built with SOM, carry the collection on one floor raised almost 30 feet above the street, spanning Wilshire. Pavilions below hold restaurants, the store, a 300-seat theater and the Keck Education Center.
The building on screen is an invented homage, not a model of the real plan.
The 15th gala · 7 November 2026
Celmins & Villeneuve
The artist Vija Celmins and the filmmaker Denis Villeneuve are honoured at the first gala since the new galleries opened. Rosé is announced as the musical guest.
