Originally built in the 1940s, the building served as a police car warehouse before being transformed into a contemporary art space by architect Frank Gehry in 1983.
The building's design features an industrial aesthetic with exposed beams and high ceilings, offering a raw and flexible space for large-scale installations.
It is one of the three locations of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, alongside MOCA Grand Avenue and the MOCA Pacific Design Center.
The venue is known for hosting groundbreaking exhibitions and has been a pivotal space for contemporary artists to showcase innovative works.
The museum was renamed in 1996 in honor of David Geffen, who donated $5 million to MOCA.
The space has hosted significant exhibitions, including the first major retrospective of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat in 2005.
Situated in the Little Tokyo area of Los Angeles, it is surrounded by a rich cultural landscape that includes other art galleries and cultural institutions.
