Dior’s Geffen Show Blurs Runway, Gallery Walls, and Hollywood Glamour

Jonathan Anderson presented Dior’s Cruise 2027 at LACMA’s newly opened David Geffen Galleries, turning the show into a California mythology–infused spectacle where couture meets art and architecture. The front row glimmered with Hollywood stars—Miley Cyrus, Sabrina Carpenter, Anya Taylor‑Joy—while models showcased shimmering, film-noir silhouettes, fringe, and playful feathered hats spelling Dior, blending runway with red carpet. The event signals a bolder, art-forward direction for Dior, emphasizing fashion as a collaboration with cinema and Modern LA aesthetics.

Jami Gertz Makes Rare LACMA Appearance as Hawks Owner Unveils $50M Gift

80s actress-turned-billionaire Jami Gertz stepped out with husband Tony Ressler at a Los Angeles County Museum of Art gala for the new David Geffen Galleries, where the couple announced a $50 million donation that will name the Ressler Family Wing; the pair, who bought the Atlanta Hawks in 2015 and relocated to Georgia, have largely paused acting in recent years.

LA's Concrete 'Mothership' Museum Sparks Debate Over Carbon Cost

LA's new David Geffen Galleries, designed by Peter Zumthor and costing about $724 million, rise as a monumental 110,000 sq ft concrete structure over Wilshire. Celebrated for its bold, signature architecture, the project is also controversial for its environmental impact, using about 15,000 tonnes of steel and 65,000 cubic metres of concrete, prompting questions about whether the cultural payoff justifies the carbon footprint, while Zumthor defends its long‑term durability.

LACMA’s Floating Geffen Galleries Redefines LA’s Cultural Pulse

Los Angeles’s new David Geffen Galleries at LACMA, a $724 million floating concrete structure by Peter Zumthor, rises 30 feet above Wilshire and opens to the public May 4 after years of controversy and fundraising; engineered with seismic isolators, wraparound windows, and chrome-curtain lighting, the design seeks to present diverse works on equal footing and reshape LA’s cultural landscape with an experiential, city-facing museum.

LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries Turn Museums Into Moving Landscapes

LACMA opens the $724 million David Geffen Galleries, a Peter Zumthor–designed, sinuous, floor-spanning structure that abandons traditional galleries for a self-guided, continuous interior and a landscape-embracing exterior; intended to fuse art, light and city context while aiming for LEED Gold and solar power, it has sparked praise for its atmosphere and ambition and critique for rough textures, sound behavior, and unfinished public spaces as the city’s cultural landscape shifts toward bolder risk.

LACMA’s Geffen Galleries: a $723.8 million bet on culture and controversy

LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries carry a final price tag of about $723.8 million (roughly $585 million in hard costs and $138.7 million in soft costs). The project was funded with county support and a large donor campaign, with $125 million in county backing and a $300 million credit, and the campaign has exceeded its $750 million goal (now well over $875 million). Debt has grown to about $617 million and is planned to be paid off by 2050. Despite ongoing criticism of the price and design, museum officials defend the build as essential cultural infrastructure, with previews starting April 19 and general admission in May 2026, after a gala on April 16.
