Hammer Museum

Due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, the Hammer Museum is temporarily closing starting March 14. On-site restaurant Audrey will remain open and has introduced delivery service. You can keep up with more local event cancelations here.

Industrialist Armand Hammer founded this museum in 1990, primarily to house his own collection, and it opened just three weeks before he died. Now, the free, UCLA partner institution stages fascinating shows of modern art, photography and design, often with an epmhasis on local artists. The shows are supplemented by the Hammer’s public events calendar (arguably one of the best in the city), chock full of free lectures, concerts and screenings.
