You can take stairways up and around the structure to get many beautiful angles. If you are lucky enough to see a performance, the acoustics... More

Just stop by to see this amazing building. Any amateur photo of this will look like a professionally-shot masterpiece. This is one of the world's most photogenic buildings!

This is the ultimate concert hall. We love the architecture, the sound is amazing, and Dudamel and the LA Phil are tops.

One of the remarquable buildings of LA: like a giant stainless-steel curving sculpture! The inside is less interesting. Nice location on the top of a hill. Not far from the MOCA.

It's really worth a trip to this Gehry-designed classical music mecca, for the exterior as much as for the interior. The architecture is a vision in steel and you won't find a single straight line on the interior.
