Photos: L.A.'s Iconic Disney Hall Went Full 'Game Of Thrones' Last Night
Winter is here, at least at downtown Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall. The Frank Gehry-designed building went full Game of Thrones Wednesday night, as images and video were projected on the building in honor of the HBO show's Season 7 premiere. Westeros took a temporary place in the L.A. skyline, with the imagery dancing across the iconic building's sweeping, curvilinear facade.
Perhaps the fire-breathing dragon should be a permanent addition?

Support for LAist comes from
Legions of stars (including our favorite celebrity couple Patton Oswalt and Meredith Salenger) filled the home of the L.A. Philharmonic for the premiere and afterparty, which also featured a short concert from the Game of Thrones orchestra. Here are some stills and videos of what one of L.A.'s most notable architectural landmarks looked like in full GOT regalia:

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
