The Broad will present "Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind," a survey of the Fluxus artist that ran at Tate Modern last year. Billed as Ono's first single-artist museum show in L.A., it will run May 23 to Oct. 11, 2026.

Although since the Geffen will also have contemporary works, her music could have been piped into it too, at least once it opens next year.
After all, shows of contemporary art featuring more obscure artists do cost less to organize and present, and LACMA doesn't exactly have all the money it can use. So for a tight budget, "hip and trendy" is much easier to pencil in compared with what a big-bucks museum in a London, Paris or NYC is accustomed to doing. Maybe in a Dubai, etc, too.
Given current trends, LACMA may be eventually forced to host shows of Starving Artists, perhaps one that compares the paintings of Thomas Kinkade with those of his less well-known peers. If so, will it be presented in the BCAM, the Resnick, the Geffen or the Japanese Pavilion?

Los Angeles County Museum of Art leadership has declined to voluntarily recognize LACMA United, the union that hundreds of its staff voted to form last week, opting instead to pursue a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election.
In its new statement, LACMA United said that the museum’s status as a county museum makes management’s position “particularly troubling,” noting that, unlike mutual-benefit nonprofits, LACMA was established by Los Angeles County as a public-benefit corporation and receives more than $30 million in public funding each year.
