That’s far too deconstructionist or “hip” (or casual or, simply put, cheap-looking) for my tastes.

I bet the average visitor to LACMA sees that aspect of the landscaping and believes the museum is on such a tight budget that in order to fill in the barren spaces around the Eli Broad wing, it’s forced to borrow plants from the local nursery. If many guests to the museum, in fact, do interpret things that way, please don’t take their condescension lightly or for granted. The museum already has gotten a big enough black eye due to the controversy of the planned closure of its film series.

What is the copyright status of these photos? Are they reusable with attribution? I’d love to add them to http://www.gardenology.org – so please let me know if that is permissible. Thanks!
