Maybe, maybe not. Who knows exactly what's going on behind closed doors? Money, ego, politics?
The bigger question is why the museum, since groundbreaking in March 2018, is still incomplete over 7 years later? Although Covid slowed things down in 2020 and 2021, that was already 5 years ago.
The Geffen Galleries project is also behind schedule and other development in LA, including a subway between LACMA and downtown LA, is running slow too.
However, the one thing that moved very fast were the disastrous fires in January. Meanwhile - true to form - the clean up of that is, yep, going very slowly.
Who's left? Thank the stars the janitor is still there. Those floors don't dust themselves.
