The Los Angeles County Museum of Art will open ‘The Kitchen and Its Discontents’ on Sunday, September 27, 2026, presenting photographs, prints and advertisements from the museum’s collection alongside two historical real-world kitchens. The exhibition has been organized by LACMA and will open concurrently with ‘Home of the Future, 1925–1985: Designing Domestic Utopias.’
The exhibition places material from LACMA’s collection alongside full-scale or otherwise historically situated kitchen environments, according to the museum’s announcement. The available information does not identify the individual photographers, printmakers or advertisers represented, nor does it specify the dates, locations or domestic histories of the two kitchens.
Its subject is the kitchen as a designed and represented space. Photographs, prints and advertisements bring together different forms of visual culture, while the inclusion of historical kitchens introduces physical examples of the domestic environments depicted or promoted through images. The announcement does not provide a curatorial statement explaining how the works and interiors will be arranged or interpreted.
‘The Kitchen and Its Discontents’ is scheduled to coincide with ‘Home of the Future, 1925–1985: Designing Domestic Utopias,’ an exhibition focused on domestic design across the period named in its title. The two presentations are therefore set to open at LACMA on the same day, linking the kitchen-focused collection display to a broader examination of proposed and designed domestic futures.
Beyond the opening date, the museum’s announcement does not provide an exhibition closing date, details of public programming, participating lenders or a checklist of works. It also does not name artists or designers associated with the display. The confirmed opening is Sunday, September 27, 2026, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles.
