The Los Angeles Music Center (its actual name is the Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles County) is a complex of four entertainment venues located on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles, California, United States.
Fundraising for the complex was begun in 1955 by Dorothy Chandler, who sought a permanent home for the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
The Dance Door, a bronze scupture, was created in 1978 by Robert Graham and donated to the Music Center in 1982 by Frederick and Marcia Weisman.
