All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
Saturday, December 12, 2026, 10:30–11:00 a.m. The 30-minute tour is volunteer-led and subject to cancellation; check with LACMA staff on the day. Meeting point not stated.
LACMA’s In Focus Tour: Outdoor Art takes its subject beyond the galleries: a short, docent-led walk around the David Geffen Galleries introduces public artworks on the museum campus. The listing names works from 1964 and 2025, along with sculptures by Auguste Rodin, as examples.
The walk centers on art surrounding the David Geffen Galleries, not an exhibition route inside them. LACMA says the galleries opened in 2026 and were designed by architect Peter Zumthor, giving the outdoor tour a setting within a recently opened part of the museum.
That context helps place the sculptures in relation to the campus, but the event listing does not promise an architectural tour or explain how the artworks relate to the building.

LACMA names Mariana Castillo Deball’s *Feathered Changes* (2025) and Alexander Calder’s *Three Quintains (Hello Girls)* (1964), and points to works by Auguste Rodin in the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Sculpture Garden. The dates offer a straightforward way to compare how far apart two of the cited works are in time.
These are examples, not a published stop-by-stop itinerary. The listing does not identify which Rodin sculptures are included or give a route order, so visitors should treat the named works as a guide to the subject rather than a guaranteed complete list of stops.
