“We’re crafting our next surreal dream world in a movie theater in West Los Angeles, a nod to the cinematic soul of the city,” Meow Wolf Chief Development Officer Amanda Clay said in a statement. “Meow Wolf Los Angeles will draw inspiration from its surroundings and translate them into something otherworldly, never-before-seen and yet familiar to Angelenos.”
The Santa Fe, New Mexico-based art collective will announce more details in the coming months about the theme and opening date for the newest Meow Wolf location just north of Los Angeles International Airport.
