Wall Project

West Hollywood & Mid-City


Ten slabs of the old Berlin Wall, augmented by well known street artists, are on display on the lawn of a Wilshire high-rise across the street from LACMA as part of the global Wall Project, curated by the fabulous Wende Museum in Culver City. It's the largest stretch of the wall outside of Germany – LA and Berlin are sister cities.
