The Watts Towers in Los Angeles

Posted 1 year ago by loti in response to avatar firestar's question: Any recommendation on unconventional art galleries or museums? (give a different answer) .

Do check one of the greatest monument of folk art in the world. I'm talking about the Watts Towers on East 107th Street, no. 1765. These towers were raised in the 1950s by Italian Simon Rodia and are an unconventional sculpture made of found objects, from plastic bottles to sea shells, to rocks and pottery. The towers, recently restored, are now open for public. Admission is only 3 dollars for kids and 5 for adults.
