The new non-linear displays of Old Master artwork in LACMA’s at the newly opened David Geffen Galleries differ radically from how this material is presented in virtually all other art museums worldwide. What do we make of this approach? Do the Old Masters feel newly alive or historically flattened? Art Muse specialist Catherine Hess will walk us through the galleries and focus on select displays, while offering insight into the history of museums in general and of Old Master collections in particular.
