Our New Home

THE ARMORY TRANSFORMED
The Wende Museum is now open to the public in its new home at the Armory on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Admission is free. Come visit!

The Wende’s new facility will provide more effective access to our collection, present thought-provoking programs, and anchor a mile-long stretch of arts venues along Culver Boulevard, connecting the cultural corridor with the downtown arts district and the 405 freeway. The eco-friendly restoration of the building and its surrounding property will greatly enhance the community by activating an abandoned facility and converting open land into a community gathering space with drought-tolerant landscaping and sculptures from the collection. |
