The Genesis Talks: Peter Zumthor and Michael Govan

The Genesis Talks brings LACMA's CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan together with some of the most influential artists, architects, and cultural leaders shaping how we see and experience art today. Each conversation sparks bold ideas, explores pressing questions, and connects LACMA's encyclopedic collection to the evolving role of museums in the 21st century.

This edition of The Genesis Talks welcomes the public to the East West Bank Plaza, in the shade of LACMA's new David Geffen Galleries, for a dynamic conversation with Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. Govan and Zumthor will dive into the design of the Geffen Galleries, exploring light, space, and the power of architecture to shape the museum experience.
