Day 8: Heading Downtown to the Broad, Walt Disney Concert Hall and Olvera Street Mexican Village

Today we use our 'tap' subway tickets (much like an Opal card but it can only be used a day at a time for under a weeks stay) to go 'downtown' into the city of Los Angeles.  First, we visited the iconic 'Last Bookshop', a huge store full of second hand and new books in an old heritage building. The displays were set up like an art installation and provided loads of atmosphere.

Our mid morning booking at The Broad, a new contemporary art museum, was an exciting experience with so many famous works by artists such as Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. The building was an amazing design as well.
