BCAM Comes to Town
Host:
It's by a blue-chip architect and filled with blue-chip contemporary art. So how is the new BCAM at LACMA? Find out when we talk to Renzo Piano, Michael Govan and others. Plus, where should you eat in LA if you want to be heard? We'll talk about the "sound design" of restaurants.
