Walt Disney Concert Hall

Here are a few shots I took of the WD Concert Hall since it was right next door to The Broad.

The Broad

Last week, a few friends and myself went to the new contemporary art museum in DTLA.  I've been dying to go because the art actually looks contemporary and way out of the box.  It's only been open about two months so it's brand new.  It's in the music district of downtown, right next to the Walt Disney Concert Hall.  I had quite a few favorites such as the giant table with chairs and the giant balloon dog animal.  I also loved this photo series about art gazers....what art viewers look like while examining works of art.  I did not photograph the area with those photographs though.  If you're interested in seeing them the admission to The Broad is free!  There were also a few dark rooms dedicated for showing videos...very odd videos in my opinion but still interesting.  I also really enjoyed the infinity mirror room.  We had to wait over four hours to go inside and once inside, you're only allowed 45 seconds. Not much time to take the amount of photos I wanted with both camera and phone but managed to snap a few before getting kicked out.  In the infinity mirror shot, you can see obviously the mirrors and the LED lights surrounding the room but what may be hard to see is the floor is submerged in water.  Only a small area where visitors can stand without falling in.  Very interesting concept and also made me a little dizzy.  I hit my head on the lights when walking out due to that dizziness so if you do go, please be careful!  The art was impressive but the architecture alone was enough to make me want to drive all the way downtown and endure LA traffic.  Beautiful building outside as well as the ceilings inside.  The whole museum was lit by natural light due to the way the ceiling was made.  I have photos of it below.  I found myself more interested in the architecture than the art most of the time.  Anyways...enjoy the photos and here is the link to the museum if you're interested in going.   www.thebroad.org
