The Nova Exhibition is a privately produced, public installation memorializing the October 7, 2023, attack on the Nova Music Festival in Israel. The exhibit will be open to the public in the Hayden Tract neighborhood of Culver City beginning Saturday, August 17th through mid-October. The exhibit will take place indoors and parking will be available on-site, and throughout the area in designated lots. You can learn more about the exhibit on the Nova Exhibition website.

The Nova Exhibition is taking place in a building zoned Industrial General. Culver City’s Industrial General district allows this use without City Council, Planning Commission, or staff approval, nor are public meetings or public notifications required. The City is providing this information to the public about the exhibit because it has the potential to generate significant public interest.

The safety of our community is a top priority. The City is proactively working with the exhibit organizers to provide enhanced safety and security measures to avoid any potential negative impacts on neighboring residents and businesses. In addition to the organizer’s 24-hour private security, Culver City Police Officers will be on-site during business hours at the organizer's expense.

Should you have additional questions or concerns about the exhibit's security, please contact Lieutenant Chris Caraballo at (310) 253-6251 or email chris.caraballo@culvercity.org or the Watch Commander at (310) 253-6202. For Culver City Police Department media inquiries, please contact the Culver City Police Department Public Information Officer, Jennifer Atenza, at (310) 253- 6120 or email jennifer.atenza@culvercity.org.

The City of Culver City, including the Culver City Police Department, is dedicated to working closely with our community to address any safety concerns in a thoughtful and collaborative manner. We thank you for your continued support and partnership in public safety.
