A volunteer-led, one-hour tour of six historical and contemporary works in LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries is scheduled for November 17. The tour is included with museum admission and may be canceled.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
For visitors who want a guided route rather than an open-ended museum visit, LACMA’s Women Artists tour sets a clear limit: six collection works in one hour. Its theme connects historical and contemporary artists, but the listing identifies only two of the six stops.
The description places Clara Peeters’s *Still Life with Cheeses, Artichoke, and Cherries* (c. 1625) at one end of the selection and Dora De Larios’s *Ocean* (2009) at the other. Those titles indicate a wide historical span, but they are examples rather than a complete itinerary.
A docent will examine six historical and contemporary works by women artists represented in LACMA’s collection. The other four are not named, so visitors hoping to see a particular additional artist cannot confirm that from the listing.

LACMA describes its collection as 155,000 objects spanning thousands of years of artistic expression. This tour offers a thematic sample rather than an overview of the museum’s holdings. Its setting, the David Geffen Galleries, opened in 2026 and was designed by architect Peter Zumthor.
The hour is part of LACMA’s public docent program, which ranges from exhibition tours to close attention to individual artworks. This particular listing gives one session and a six-work theme, not a detailed stop-by-stop route.

The listing gives a single docent-led session; the six works are described by theme, with only two titles published.
The tour is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, 2026, from 2 to 3 p.m. at LACMA, 5905 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036. The listing names the David Geffen Galleries but does not give an indoor meeting point.
