Originally part of the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science, & Art located in Exposition Park, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was established as a separate institution in 1961. In 1965, LACMA moved from its Exposition Park location to the Museum's current location at 5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles. The LACMA campus originally began as three buildings designed by architect William Pereira. The original three buildings were the Ahmanson Building, which housed the Museum's permanent collection, the Bing Center and Bing Theater where public programs were held, and the Hammer building dedicated to special exhibitions. In 1983, LACMA underwent an expansion project to gain more gallery space. In 1986, the LACMA campus grew again with the addition of the Robert O. Anderson Building, designed by architecture firm Hardy, Holzman, Pfeiffer Associates (later known as Pfeiffer Partners) to house modern and contemporary art. The Anderson Building was renamed the Art of Americas Building in 2007. The museum continued to expand, opening the B. Gerald Cantor Sculpture Garden and the Pavilion for Japanese Art, designed by Bruce Goff, in 1988. The addition of LACMA West came from the purchase of the adjacent May Company Department Store building in 1994. In 2004, LACMA began a three phase Transformation Project for campus growth and unification.

Intrigued by the advanced technology used by corporations in Southern California in 1966, Maurice Tuchman, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Curator of Modern Art, began to imagine what an artist could create in an industrial environment. The idea of linking art and industry eventually led to the creation of the Art and Technology Program.
