Three collection sculptures, chosen across a historical-to-contemporary span, shape this 30-minute docent-led visit to LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries on Nov. 24.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
Three sculptures are the focus of LACMA’s In Focus Tour: Sculpture, Then and Now, a docent-led half hour in the David Geffen Galleries on Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2026, from 1 to 1:30 p.m. The museum has not named the works, so the tour offers a guided look at a selection rather than a promised checklist of particular artists or objects.
LACMA describes the tour as an introduction to the variety of sculpture on view, built around three key works in its collection. The announced historical-to-contemporary range gives the session its frame, but the listing does not identify the sculptures or say where they fall within that span. Visitors can plan for close attention to a small selection, not a guaranteed encounter with a specific piece.
The setting offers a wider point of reference: LACMA says its collection contains 155,000 objects representing thousands of years of artistic expression around the world. The David Geffen Galleries, which opened in 2026, are the tour’s location within that larger museum campus.

This is a volunteer-led tour, and LACMA warns that such tours can be canceled. The museum advises visitors to ask its staff on the day for an update. The event listing does not name the docent, specify where the group meets, or give separate tour-reservation instructions; ask staff about both the tour’s status and where to gather.

LACMA lists one 30-minute session on Nov. 24. Its three-work focus is an introduction to sculpture across a historical-to-contemporary range, not a multi-part programme.
The tour is scheduled for 1–1:30 p.m. in the David Geffen Galleries at LACMA, 5905 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036. The event listing does not give a meeting point; ask museum staff when you arrive. LACMA lists Tuesday museum hours as 11 a.m.–6 p.m.
LACMA’s public docent tours are free with museum admission. The event listing does not provide separate tour-reservation instructions. The museum highly recommends advance timed-entry admission tickets; walk-up tickets are available, but a time slot may sell out or be unavailable.
For L.A. County residents with valid ID, general admission is $25 for adults and $21 for seniors 65 and older, students 18 and older, and visitors with disabilities. County residents ages 2 and under, ages 3–12, and teens 13–17 are listed as free. For visitors from outside the county, adult admission is $30; seniors 65 and older, students 18 and older, and visitors with disabilities pay $26; ages 2 and under are free, and ages 3–17 pay $15. LACMA members are admitted free.
Other free-admission options include L.A. County youth ages 17 and under; NexGenLA members and one guest; L.A. County residents with valid ID on weekdays after 3 p.m.; and active-duty military, including National Guard and Reserve members, and their families during Memorial Day through Labor Day through Blue Star Museums. Bank of America debit or credit cardholders receive free admission on the first full weekend of each month, and all visitors receive free admission on the second Tuesday of each month. Members of 25 reciprocal museums also receive free general admission.
A professional personal care attendant accompanying a paying visitor who requires such care may request complimentary admission at the Ticket Office. Golden State Advantage EBT cardholders may receive free admission for themselves, two adults, and accompanying children 17 and under; they must present the EBT card and valid photo ID at the Ticket Office on the visit day. This offer is not available online. LACMA says visitors with disabilities do not need formal documentation for the listed admission rate.
Nov. 24 is the fourth Tuesday of the month, so the all-visitors second-Tuesday offer does not apply. The first-full-weekend Bank of America offer also does not apply to this date, and the weekday-after-3-p.m. offer for L.A. County residents does not cover a 1 p.m. tour. LACMA lists 25% off general admission for KCRW and KJAZZ members with member ID, and $2 off general admission for Metro riders with a TAP card; check the museum’s ticket information for current terms.
