Every month we feature a different LA landmark in our newsletter header. Can you guess this month’s featured landmark?

Urban Light at LACMA!

Urban Light is a permanent installation at LACMA by Chris Burden, who envisioned the restored street lamps to be a formal entryway to the famed museum. Two hundred and two cast iron street lamps from the 1920s and 30s were restored and installed in 2008, lighting up the Wilshire side of the museum from dawn to dusk with solar-powered light. Urban Light is a local landmark and considered a Los Angeles icon by some.

Sadly, the art world lost Chris Burden on May 10, 2015, to cancer, but his legacy lives on in Urban Light.
