The Armand Hammer Museum of Art

The Hammer Museum champions the art and artists who challenge us to see the world in a new light, to experience the unexpected, to ignite the imaginations, and inspire change. The Hammer understands that art not only has the power to transport the visitors through aesthetic experience but can also provide significant insight into some of the most pressing cultural, political, and social questions of our time. The Museum shares the unique and invaluable perspectives that artists have on the world around them.  A vibrant intellectual and creative nexus, the Hammer is fueled by dynamic exhibitions and programs—including lectures, symposia, film series, readings, and musical performances—that spark meaningful encounters with art and ideas.
