L.A.’s Hammer Museum expansion, two decades in the making, sets date for the final reveal
The Hammer Museum’s more than two-decade-long building transformation is about to cross the finish line: The museum said Tuesday it will premiere the final phase of its expansion and renovations project on March 26.
That includes a new, far more visible entrance on the corner of Wilshire and Westwood boulevards designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture, which has steered the project for more than 20 years. The new entrance faces the Metro D (Purple) Line station expected to open in 2027.
The March reveal will include new gallery space in the former City National Bank space next door and an outdoor sculpture terrace on the corner of Wilshire and Glendon Avenue. New art exhibitions and programming will mark the new spaces.
