LA’s levitating amoeba: a radically new kind of museum

A hulking structure hangs above traffic on Wilshire Boulevard like a levitating amoeba. The concrete-and-glass colossus—designed by Peter Zumthor, a Swiss architect—is known as the David Geffen Galleries and is the new home of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (lacma), the largest art museum in western America. After 20 years, the building will finally open to the public on May 4th. Its $724m price tag and daring architecture are not the only radical things about it.
