Fourth District Residents Impacted by “Levitated Mass” Offered Free Admission to LACMA

To celebrate the grand opening of Michael Heizer’s Levitated Mass on Sunday, June 24, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is offering free admission to residents of the Fourth District who were impacted by the movement of the 340-ton boulder in February for the entire week of June 24-July 1, Supervisor Don Knabe announced today.

With proof of residence, such as a driver’s license, residents of communities that were impacted by the rock’s journey from Riverside County to LACMA will be granted free admission to the museum’s galleries.

“The route to the Museum of Art took the rock through most of the Fourth District, including stops in Rowland Heights, Lakewood, and Long Beach, and this is our small way of saying thank-you to our residents for their patience,” said Supervisor Knabe. “This is an incredible opportunity for residents who have never visited LACMA to experience all the art and culture the museum has to offer.”

Residents residing in the following zip-codes will receive free admission to LACMA the week of June 24-July 1:
