Encompassing everything from prehistoric cave paintings to today's screen art, the Museum explores and celebrates the power of visual storytelling to inspire individuals, give shape to beliefs and ideals, and forge community. Built in Los Angeles's Exposition Park, the Museum is housed in a 300,000-square-foot building designed by Ma Yansong of MAD with Stantec to embody the emotional power of narrative art, creating a sense of wonder, possibility, and connection to something larger than ourselves. The building is integrated into a new 13-acre campus, including a park designed by Mia Lehrer of StudioMLA: a green, multilayered gathering place for local communities and an extraordinary programming resource that brings learning and engagement outdoors.
