Our New Home
THE ARMORY TRANSFORMED
The Groundbreaking Ceremony for the former National Guard Armory at 10808 Culver Boulevard was held on September 10, 2016.
We are pleased to announce that construction began on November 28, 2016 and is scheduled to continue for the following eight months.
Culver City Hours of Construction:
Monday - Friday: 8:00 am - 8:00 pm
Saturday: 9:00 am - 7:00 pm
Sunday: 10:00 am - 7:00 pm
Please contact The Wende Museum with any concerns:
Owner: The Wende Museum | p: (310) 216-1600 x311
Contractor: GEM Contractors Group | p: (323) 804-8645
The Wende Museum is excited to begin the adaptive re-use of the Armory into an important cultural amenity for the community of Culver City, greater Los Angeles and more globally because of our online activity. This time next year, we plan to be settled in our new home. We hope you will visit and participate in our programs. |
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.
