The Los Angeles County Museum of Art announced on April 14 that Erewhon, a well-known Southern California food retailer and café, will open its first museum location at LACMA. The new café is set to launch on April 19 for museum members attending previews of the David Geffen Galleries and will open to the public on May 4.
The partnership introduces Erewhon’s organic and ethically sourced offerings to museum visitors, expanding dining choices at LACMA. This move is part of a broader effort by the museum to enhance visitor experience with additional amenities.
Erewhon at LACMA will be located in the northeast pavilion on the W.M. Keck Plaza, featuring both indoor and outdoor seating with views of Alexander Calder’s fountain Three Quintains (Hello Girls). Two more dining venues—a restaurant and wine bar—are scheduled to open later this year.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art serves as the largest art museum in the western United States, providing research and conservation through its facilities, according to the official website. The institution includes multiple pavilions designed for diverse art experiences according to its official website.
LACMA holds over 150,000 works spanning 6,000 years according to its official website, focusing on exhibitions, educational programs, and public events that engage audiences from various backgrounds as stated by the museum. Collections include pieces from Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Islamic world according to LACMA’s website. Additionally, free admission is available for Los Angeles County residents after 3 p.m. on weekdays as reported by LACMA.
With these developments in dining options alongside ongoing programming efforts, LACMA continues its commitment to serving as a leading cultural destination in Los Angeles.
