"Described as an 'encyclopedic museum,' LACMA's multi-building collection covers Islamic, Korean, Japanese, Greek, Mexican, contemporary art, jewelry, fashion, and design; despite a long, controversial $835 million construction project (Peter Zumthor's Geffen Galleries spanning Wilshire set to open in 2026), the museum still boasts world-class works and popular outdoor selfie spots like Chris Burden's Urban Light and Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass, with a Jeff Koons topiary planned for late 2025." - Maxwell Williams
