Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Zwar ist sein Pendant in Glendale möglicherweise eindrucksvoller, nichtsdestotrotz ist dieser Friedhof jedoch Hollywood pur. Ägyptische Tempel, griechische Statuen und römische Gedenkstätten sorgen für echte Eleganz. Dies ist die letzte Ruhestätte von einigen der bekanntesten Vertreter des früheren Hollywood wie z.B. Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks und Rudolph Valentino. Unmittelbar daneben befindet sich das Filmgelände der Paramount Studios; zahlreiche von dort hervorgegangene Stars sind auf diesem Friedhof begraben. Besonders eindrucksvolle Grabstätten sind das von Wasser umgebene Mausoleum von William A. Clark Jr. sowie das Monument von Douglas Fairbanks mitsamt dem dazugehörigen glitzernden Teich.

Hollywood Sculpture Garden

The Hollywood Sculpture Garden is a unique collection of art pieces and paintings curated by Dr. Robby Gordon. Located in the Hollywood Hills, this museum features excellent sculptures by local as well as international artists in a green, luscious plantation. You can take a peek into the garden and a few of the art pieces at street-level as you pass by. The garden is filled with various art pieces made from steel rods, stones or concrete, that are placed strategically to blend in with the plantation and the Downtown Los Angeles skyline. Not just the garden, but also the stairs have been decorated by embedding beads and marbles to create beautiful textured patterns. The gallery at the entrance hosts a lot of art receptions and displays, which attract gallery owners and museum curators, creating a pool of opportunity for the artists. You can book a visit or sign up for an upcoming event to view this scenic garden and enjoy a tour by Dr. Robby himself.

La Brea Tar Pits

Vor langer Zeit war Rancho La Brea für Mexiko bestimmtes Land. Heute ist es ein Park, in dessen Teergruben sich einige der am besten erhaltenen Eiszeit-Fossilien befinden. Vor 40.000 Jahren fielen Mammuts, Raubtiere mit Säbelzähnen und Wölfe in diese Grube und konnten wegen des Teers nicht mehr entkommen. Während der Sommermonate können Besucher die fortwährende Ausgrabung bei Pit 91 beobachten.

Urban Light

What started as a random collection of vintage street lamps turned into an iconic landmark within a short period. Chris Burden is the creative brainchild behind the unique installation that graces the premises of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It is an assemblage of over 200 street lights dating back to the 1920s that were sources of light to neighborhoods across Southern California. Linearly aligned and refurbished to maintain uniformity, the cast iron beams boast intricate geometric patterns at their base and are topped with solar-powered luminary globes.

Garden Of Oz

A secret walkway or a trail that leads to a strange yet unique world is how one might describe the Garden of Oz. Tucked inside one of the many twists on the Ledgewood Drive, wrapped around in trees and shrubs, a visitor gets a quick peek into this private garden. Inspired by the tale of Wizard of Oz, the whole garden is decorated with beads, toys, tiles and shiny marbles forming a mosaic pattern. A tiny yellow gate followed by a trail of yellow tile leads you to each and every corner featuring thrones, steps and garden beds. You will stumble upon thrones dedicated to characters of the wizard of oz to John Lennon, studded in shimmering marbles and concrete bases draped in tile mosaic. The declaration of its designation as a Historic-Cultural monument has made it an attraction for locals as well as tourists.

Museum of Jurassic Technology

Das Museum of Jurassic Technologie ist eines der Museen hier in Los Angeles, das einen durch seine zum Nachdenken anregenden Ausstellungen wirklich in den Bann zieht. Obwohl die künstlerisch hervorragenden Ausstellungen Relikte aus der Frühen Steinzeit zeigen, bleiben sie der Linie des Museums treu. Als Besucher muss man sich klar sein, dass das ganze Museum eine Vortäuschung ist, obwohl so mancher das bezweifeln wird. Ganz gleich wie man sich entscheidet, es ist auf jeden Fall das Eintrittsgeld und die Zeit, die man darin verbringt, wert.

Eintritt: Erwachsene USD 4 (EUR 4,80), Senioren,Studenten und Kinder UDS 2,50 (EUR 3), Kinder unter 12 Jahren frei.

Bhagavad Gita Museum

Bhagavad Gita Museum is a unique Los Angeles gem. Established in 1977, its aim was to teach visitors about the Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse Hindu scripture calling for selfless action. You will gain an insight into the scriptures through eleven large dioramas that depict colorful scenes. Some of the awe-inspiring dioramas include the Changing Bodies diorama and the the Precarious Condition of the Living Entity diorama. You'll also see animatronics that help bring life to the story. Sign up for a guided tour to gain a deeper insight into the museum exhibits.

Original Muscle Beach Santa Monica

Original Muscle Beach welcomes fitness buffs, locals as well as tourists. This beach features an open-air gymnasium that permits refreshing workout sessions. Some of the equipment found on site includes ropes, rings, monkey bars and high bars. Those who are lucky might also spot celebrities on the sandbanks. Here, people often engage in activities like weight-lifting, biking, swimming and sunbathing. After soaking in the warmth of the sun, you can head to a local bar and grab a chilled beer with some tantalizing munchies.

Chiat-Day Building

Dies ist ganz zweifellos eines der auffälligsten Gebäude in Los Angeles, denn ein weithin sichtbares vier Stockwerke hohes Fernglas markiert den Eingang zur Firmenzentrale dieser Werbeagentur. Zusätzlich zu diesem Frank-Gehry-Entwurf aus dem Jahre 1991 besitzt das Gebäude einen bootsförmigen Seitenflügel und eine baumähnliche Struktur. Im Inneren des Fernglases sind zwei Tagungsräume untergebracht, wobei die Okulare als Oberlichter dienen. Die Werbeagentur bietet augenblicklich keine Führungen an.
