An exhibition sponsored by Barbie (!!) plus an incredible freeway installation by Chris Burden that would have any car/train-set folk in a frenzy and design types absorbed by the architectural blocks and intersecting carriageways and then there's the noise - it lay silent for us but revs up for the weekends (See audio below). We were shown it in the gallery by an attendant who was summoned, with complete grace, back from lunch to attend to our every need.
Amidst the assortment of cool buildings from the 60s forward are outdoor sculpture to win the soul of almost anyone (Calder, Burden etc.) and communal spaces for picnics and an incredible art studio - The Boone Gallery. This place may be my new favourite, full-on gallery. Unsurprisingly it has plenty of glamorous supporters, including Walt Disney, amidst a long list of benefactors engraved along the marble entrance.
