Okay, you're just trying to get home, and you've just passed the La Brea Tar Pits – but you're stuck in traffic on Wilshire just before Fairfax. Yeah, it's the west end of Wilshire's Miracle Mile, but no one is moving. Everyone is angry. And above it all is something odd. This is the current scrim at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 5905 Wilshire Boulevard. Does this mean something? This doesn't help.

The scrim hides the museum's latest building, an unremarkable neo-industrial marble box by the equally unremarkable Renzo Piano.

And across the street, if you're paying attention, you can catch a glimpse of Rodin's Orpheus. You know how he feels.
