Construction Update
Notice to all visitors:
LACMA’s health and safety protocols and processes are implemented for you—our visitors—and our staff and volunteers.
An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and anyone with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.
Masks are strongly recommended indoors for everyone.
Stay home if you are sick or have COVID-19 symptoms.
Do not visit LACMA if you or anyone in your party is exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19 as identified by the L.A. County Department of Public Health, which include cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, fever, or chills.
Do not visit LACMA if in the last 10 days you or anyone in your party has been in close contact with or without face mask (within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes or any unprotected contact with bodily fluids/secretions) with someone who has COVID-19 or COVID-19 symptoms during the 10 days prior to your scheduled visit to LACMA, or if you or anyone in your party are currently under isolation or quarantine orders.
