This Week at LACMA: David Geffen Galleries Member Previews and NexGenLA Celebration

April 27, 2026

LACMA members are invited to be among the first to experience the revolutionary curatorial approach that defines the David Geffen Galleries at our current Member Previews and Sunset Reception. See beloved works of art, discover new favorites, and immerse yourself in a fresh take on the history of art—one that fosters connections across geography and time to reveal our shared histories. Not a member? Join today! Kids and their families are also invited to NexGenLA Celebration of the Geffen Galleries on Sunday, May 3.

Celebrate the return of Jazz at LACMA, presented Friday evenings from May through October. Vocalist and composer Michelle Coltrane will kick off the 35th season of Jazz at LACMA and celebrate the John Coltrane Centennial on Friday, May 1,
