LACMA's new David Geffen Galleries features a reinstalled sculpture by Alexander Calder. The sculpture, 'Three Quintains (Hello Girls)', was one of the museum's first commissions and has been restored to its original form. It is now a centerpiece of the museum's new building, located near the main cafe and education center. The sculpture features four water jets and colorful, mobile-like paddles that dance and twist in the wind and water. It is expected to be a popular attraction, especially among children and fans of modern art. The museum spent nearly $724 million on the new galleries, which feature a technically advanced filtration system to protect the sculpture from the outdoor urban environment.
