A day-tour in Hollywood will not be completed without visiting the magnificent work of art by Chris Burden. This is like an installation art of 202 restored 1920s cast-iron streetlamps from Los Angeles and many other nearby cities. His main objective with this artwork is to show the sophistication of the urban landscape. You too can visit it at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Urban Light is definitely a tourist attraction you want to check out when visiting L.A. After seeing it in movies, I finally was able to see it for myself. I was with my aunts and my sister and we really had fun hanging out with these streetlamps. By the way, this is good for a date night. :)

"By placing 202 human-scale lamps very close together and in long colonnades, I feel usurped the lamp's function as streetlamp. Together they form a sculpture which I call Urban Light. The viewer's experience of traversing through these tightly spaced fluted column is an exalted one that recalls the marvel of seeing and walking thorough classic Greek and Roman architecture or a European cathedral. The feelings of recollection and wonder transform the streetlamps, day or night into the sculpture Urban Light."
