Home of the Future, 1925–1985: Designing Domestic Utopias
Between 1925 and 1985, Americans were offered an astonishing array of domestic utopias. Self-cleaning kitchens, plastic houses assembled in a day, push-button appliances, and desktop computers all shaped aspirations about how to live. Through architectural models, drawings, photographs, films, and objects ranging from sinks to television sets, Home of the Future traces how the American home of tomorrow was imagined, packaged, and sold—by whom, and for whom. While these visions promised abundance and technological transformation, the exhibition also asks who was excluded from that future, and who imagined radical alternatives.
This exhibition will be on view at LACMA from September 27, 2026 through March 14, 2027.
