This Week at LACMA

Between 1925 and 1985, Americans were offered an astonishing array of domestic utopias. Self-cleaning kitchens, plastic houses assembled in a day, push-button appliances, and desktop computers all shaped aspirations about how to live. Through architectural models, drawings, photographs, films, and objects ranging from sinks to television sets, Home of the Future, 1925–1985: Designing Domestic Utopias traces how the American home of tomorrow was imagined, packaged, and sold—by whom, and for whom. Presented concurrently with Home of the Future, The Kitchen and Its Discontents brings two influential kitchens together with related artworks to explore the significance of a site historically associated with women’s labor. See both of these newly opened exhibitions now on view at LACMA.

Also this week, Night Out at LACMA returns on Wednesday, September 30, for an evening of art, food, drinks, and music under the stars. Celebrate this season's newly opened and ongoing exhibitions while exploring the museum after hours, including the David Geffen Galleries. Admission is free. Come check out L.A.’s most exciting restaurants presented by MAMA featuring Cafe Tondo, Seco, and the return of Hop Louie, plus many more. Enjoy food for purchase, free treats, cash bars, and a live DJ set to be announced.
