Contemporary Downtown LA Tour
See an amazing array of contemporary art and architecture on this guided tour of downtown Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, often called "The Cultural Capital of the West Coast," has become a world center for contemporary art and architecture, a great deal of which is showcased in downtown LA. Covering 8 city blocks and led by knowledgeable guides, this walking tour focuses on a variety of cultural landmarks, artists, and architects, including:
- Library Tower (the tallest building on the west coast)
- Frank Gehry
- Walt Disney Concert Hall
- Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
- Alexander Calder
- Museum of Contemporary Art
- Thom Mayne

An added plus is the tour's "Live-Audio" listening system. The guide broadcasts commentary over a headset microphone to participants, who use audio headsets with individual volume control. Note that this is not a pre-recorded tour but rather a way of making sure everyone can hear, no matter where they're standing or what city noises surround them.
