A 30-minute docent-led tour draws links among three collection works in LACMA’s Atlantic Ocean galleries. Four separate sessions are listed, including one later Sunday start.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
This half-hour is built around comparison: a docent connects three works from LACMA’s collection through visual relationships and ideas that cross places and historical periods. The route stays within the Atlantic Ocean section of the David Geffen Galleries.
The Atlantic Ocean is one of four sections in the David Geffen Galleries, which LACMA says opened in 2026. The tour uses three collection works to introduce the section, drawing out stories and influences that link its coasts.
LACMA’s listing does not identify the artworks. Visitors can expect a docent-led look at relationships among works, but cannot use the listing to plan around a particular artist or object.
