Timken Travel Day: LACMA – Explore Collecting Impressionism & the Stunning New David Geffen Building

Get ready for an unforgettable day at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where art and architecture come alive! You’ll be treated to a private tour of Collecting Impressionism, an exhibition that reveals the stories behind some of LACMA’s most cherished Impressionist masterpieces. Featuring works by Monet, Degas, Pissaro, and others, this exhibition offers a fascinating look at how French Impressionism became a cornerstone of American art collections.

You’ll also have the special opportunity to explore LACMA’s stunning new David Geffen Galleries, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor. This remarkable building transforms the museum experience with its light-filled galleries, sweeping views of Los Angeles, and a thoughtful integration of art and architecture. Opening to the public for the first time in April 2026, this is a unique chance to explore one of LA’s most anticipated new cultural spaces.

Lunch will be at participants’ discretion. A selection of restaurants and food trucks are within walking distance of LACMA.

This travel program includes round-trip luxury coach transportation, light breakfast, museum admission, private tours, and a boxed dinner with wine for the return trip. We invite you to join us for this leisurely, art-filled day.
