As of July 1, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) will finally reopen to the public. While many LA museums have been up and running again since April, MOCA only reopened half of their building in June. Museum staff told Lindsay Preston Zappas, Founder & Editor-in-Chief of Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles, that they were waiting until all of their staff were vaccinated before fully reopening.
