LACMA's permanent collection moved into a new home on 19 April 2026: a 275-metre curved building of glass and concrete that steps over Wilshire Boulevard on splayed piers, lifting 10,220 square metres of galleries some nine metres above the street. It completes a campus rebuild two decades in the making, replacing four of the museum's ageing buildings with a single level where the collection is shown without a fixed route through it.

Le musée d'art narratif de George Lucas ouvre au public le 22 septembre 2026 à Exposition Park, après un chantier qui a dépassé de plusieurs années la date initialement fixée. Il est consacré à la narration comme art — illustration, bande dessinée, cinéma et peinture côte à côte — plutôt qu'à un seul médium, et s'installe à côté du Natural History Museum et du California Science Center, dans le quartier des musées de la ville.

The $915 million museum on the bank of the Parramatta River opens with five exhibitions and more than 3,000 objects, and is the largest museum in New South Wales. Most of its exhibitions are free, and all are free for visitors under 16.

London's city museum reopens on 28 November 2026 under a new name and in a new home: the derelict General Market beside Smithfield's meat halls, a Victorian market building left empty for decades and now rebuilt around its own ironwork and glazed dome. The move ends the institution's run at London Wall, where it had been hemmed in by a roundabout and reached by a walkway, and puts it at street level in a market that has traded on the site since the twelfth century.

Twenty years after it was announced, the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi opens on 11 December 2026 as the largest museum in the Guggenheim family - about 80,000 square metres, against roughly a quarter of that in New York. Frank Gehry arranged it around a single tall atrium with galleries threaded between ten sculptural cones, nine sheathed in stainless steel mesh and one in onyx and glass, so the roofline reads as a cluster of towers from across the Culture District.

Berlin's Pergamonmuseum comes back in stages, and the first of them lands on 4 June 2027: the North Wing and the northern central building reopen, putting the Pergamon Altar back on public view and giving the Museum für Islamische Kunst two full floors. The museum has been under renovation since 2013 as part of the Museumsinsel master plan, and the South Wing stays shut after this - it is not expected back until around 2037.

The 400,000-square-foot replacement for the Don Mills science centre is rising on Toronto's waterfront, pairing a mainland building with an integrated pod complex and a restored Cinesphere. Ontario's auditor general costed the move at roughly $1.4 billion against $1.3 billion to keep the old building, and shovels went in the ground in May 2026.
