Urban Light

Urban Light at LACMA is located in Los Angeles. It  consists of 202 antique street lamps. Everyone should experience it because it takes away the stress of everyday life, especially during the nights when everything is dark and the only light you can see is coming from  202 lamps.  Urban Lights is very romantic, dramatic and a perfect spot to take pictures or just relax.

The Urban Light designer is Chris Burden, who divided the lamps in to 17 different styles. They vary from size and height. Most of them are 20 -3o feet, grey color and solar power lights. Burden has been collecting lamps from 2000 but he did not have idea that he was going to make a this kind of sculpture. As the collection grew he ended up making this wonderful piece of art that we can enjoy today in Los angels. A lot of couples who are getting married or engaged, Birthday celebrities come here in order to have this beautiful design for their photo-shoots.


First looking at these lamps it makes you go back to the history and feel like your in a different century. It reminds me of Europe, since it is popular with this kind of street lights. It is great idea from the designer to have the touch of the Europe in America.
