Amedeo Modigliani in Worldwide Museums: 8. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)















How are you?


The 8th place I would like to introduce for this week is The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles in the United States.

LACMA is an art museum located on Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile near Los Angeles. Founded in 1961 by splitting from the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art, the museum moved four years later to the Wilshire Boulevard complex designed by architect William Pereira










The museum's wealth and collection increased in the 1980s, and several buildings were added in following decades. In 2020, four buildings were demolished to make room for a reconstructed facility designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. However, his design aroused strong community opposition and was criticized by architectural critics and museum curators, objecting to its reduced gallery space, poor design, and exorbitant costs.












LACMA is the largest art museum in the western United States, with nearly one million visitors annually. With a collection of more than 150,000 works from ancient to modern art history, LACMA not only exhibits artworks, but also hosts film screenings and concerts.












The works of Modigliani currently in the possession of LACMA are as follows.




















Thank you.
