Hammer’s shows staying on-site
The UCLA Hammer Museum, which announced in December that it would operate its 2006 public programs in a temporary off-site venue during construction of its new Billy Wilder Theater, will instead continue to offer all of the programs on-site in its Gallery 6 space.
Although construction of the new theater, beginning this month, is expected to take a year, the temporary use of a new Hammer Annex was deemed unnecessary when an alternative site for staging construction was found. That accommodation will allow the uninterrupted use of Gallery 6 for the museum’s lectures, readings, screenings and other events.
The Wilder Theater is part of the museum’s $26.5-million renovation designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture.
