This Week at LACMA

August 17, 2026

This week marks the final days of Christian Marclay: The Clock, the artist's vast cinematic collage constructed from thousands of moments from film and television history. The Clock is open during regular museum hours, but you can also visit during early-morning viewing hours beginning at 7 am on Thursday and Saturday, and get tickets a special 24-hour screening beginning at 7 pm on Saturday, August 22.

Eileen Cowin: Between Panic and Paradise also opens this Sunday. This exhibition presents the provocative photography and video of the Los Angeles–based artist who has explored romance and rivalry, the personal and the political, and the monotony and mystery of daily life, for more than 50 years. Members see it first during Member Previews from Thursday, August 20, through Saturday, August 22.
