The Wende Museum, Culver City
**Mark your calendars! Los Angeles’ Night of Ideas is coming back to the Wende Museum on Saturday, April 4th, 2026.** New this year: get ready for an extended all-day program starting in the afternoon. Join us for hands-on workshops in animation filmmaking and climate awareness, a video games forum, a performance by the Bob Baker Marionette Theater and more. The night will unfold with great anticipation, opening with an original musical creation by composer Victor Le Masne – Music Director of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games – followed by an ambitious interdisciplinary lineup spanning art, science, literature, journalism, technology, and performance. This event will fill the entire museum with conferences, interactive workshops and artistic performances; stroll through the garden, enjoy food trucks, drinks, music and an immersive VR installation. The Wende Museum will become a space where generations meet, disciplines intersect, and Los Angeles joins a global movement of ideas – leading the way in cultural and intellectual exchange. ✨ **Don’t miss this free, open-to-the-public event at the Wende Museum - an unforgettable day of creativity and conversation.
