Lamp Posts & Tar Pits



The lamp posts. Yes, well the lamp posts were installed in front of the Broad Museum by Chris Burden, the contemporary artist. Apparently he had enough left over to do a similar installation in London.

The creature. The whole L.A. County Museum of Art complex is located adjacent to the La Brea Tar pits. So you have your art, your pits and your creatures peacefully coexisting.

That is an awful lot of lamp posts... can't see the lights for all the shadows they'll cast!

Next time I go I'll want to see them at night.
