Women Artists of the New Geffen Galleries: A Private Tour At LACMA

​**A new LACMA. A fresh perspective. And the women artists we can’t wait to discover.** **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/NewGeffenGalleries-05jf)** ​Join us for a special afternoon inside **[LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries](https://www.lacma.org/?utm_source=luma)**, where we’ll experience the museum’s collection through the creativity, stories, and influence of **women artists**. ​In partnership with **[ArtMuse LA](https://www.artmusela.com/?utm_source=luma)**, we’ll go beyond simply looking at the art with an intimate, expert-led private tour. Together, we’ll uncover standout works, fascinating stories, and fresh perspectives while exploring how women have challenged conventions, shaped artistic movements, and made their mark across generations. ​This is more than a first look at LACMA’s newest galleries—it’s a chance to experience them with **context, conversation, and a fresh point of view**. Guided by ArtMuse LA, we’ll explore a thoughtfully selected group of works while putting the **women behind the art** at the center, uncovering the stories, ideas, creative risks, and fascinating details we might otherwise walk right past—from celebrated names to exciting new discoveries. ​And because an art-full afternoon is even better over a great meal, we’ll begin with an **optional group lunch at [Fanny’s](https://fannysla.com/?utm_source=luma) at the Academy Museum**—a chance to meet, mingle, and connect before walking over to LACMA together. ​Whether you know LACMA inside and out or are simply curious to see what’s new, this is an opportunity to experience the museum differently: **more intimate, more engaging, and through a distinctly Women of Culture lens.** ​Come curious. Leave inspired—with a few new favorite artists and plenty to talk about. ​ **Why You’ll Love This** * ​✨ **Be among the first to explore a new era at LACMA** inside the much-anticipated David Geffen Galleries. * ​🎨 **Skip the aimless museum wandering** with an expert from ArtMuse LA leading us to works and stories worth knowing. * ​💗 **Put women artists in the spotlight** as we discover their creativity, influence, and contributions across LACMA’s collection. * ​🥂 **Make an afternoon of it** with an optional lunch at Fanny’s and the chance to connect with fellow culturally curious women. ​**Schedule** ​**12:00 PM \|** Lunch at [Fanny’s](https://fannysla.com/?utm_source=luma) Academy Museum of Motion Pictures \| 6067 Wilshire Blvd ​**1:45 PM \|** Meet for **2pm** Private Guided Tour of the [David Geffen Galleries](https://www.lacma.org/?utm_source=luma) LACMA \| 5905 Wilshire Blvd ​**3:00 PM \|** Option to continue Exploring LACMA ​—— **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/NewGeffenGalleries-05jf)** ​ **Tickets** **Private\, guided tour only \|** $70 first release; $75 full price **Full experience with Lunch \|** $100 first release: $110 full price\* ​\*\*Full Experience includes one lunch entrée only.
