Walt Disney Concert Hall | Los Angeles, CA

The Walt Disney Concert Hall, in downtown Los Angeles, is one of the city's premier cultural destinations. The stainless steel exterior forms, symbolizing musical movements, have now become iconic. It is home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. There are free daily audio tours, as well as private group tours.

The Concert Hall is situated on historic Bunker Hill at the intersection of First Street and Grand Avenue, adjacent to the existing Music Center of Los Angeles.

In 1987, Lillian Disney donated $50 million to "build a world-class performance venue as a gift to the people of Los Angeles and a tribute to Walt Disney's devotion to the arts". The  following year, Frank Gehry was selected from among several candidates during a design competition.

A rose-shaped fountain made from Royal Delft porcelain is a tribute to Lillian Disney in the Level 3 garden.

Frank Gehry created a similarly building for the Guggenheim Museum, in Spain. Everyone thinks that Disney Hall is a "copy" of that museum but the real fact is that the design for Disney Hall came first.
