Manet & Morisot
Legion of Honor: Oct 11-March 1
This exhibition explores the relationship between Édouard Manet, one of the Impressionist era’s greatest painters, and Berthe Morisot, the only woman to produce art under her own name during this time. Their story is told through Manet’s portraits of Morisot and Morisot’s work, which often reflected elements of Manet’s. The installation celebrates the friendship between these two important artists.

This is a great exhibition for the whole family!
Collecting Impressionism
LACMA: Dec 21 – Jan 3, 2027
This exhibit doesn’t just celebrate the art of impressionist painting and the artists who spearheaded it. But it goes a step further to educate the viewer on the impressionist paintings (and painters) who shaped the collection at LACMA to make it the museum it is today. Paintings by Degas and Pissarro are featured with unique stories behind them of how they made their way to be part of the LACMA collection.
Monuments
Co-organized and co-presented by MOCA and The Brick, Los Angeles, Oct 23, 2025 – May 3, 2026
The exhibition presents decommissioned monuments borrowed from several museums across the U.S. and reflects on the histories and legacies of post-Civil War America as they continue to resonate today. Many are Confederate, along with contemporary artworks borrowed and newly created for the occasion. The monuments in the exhibition will be shown in their varying states of transformation, from unmarred to heavily vandalized.
