Our second visit to the Skirball Center with Of All The People In All The World, this time for a month and with a larger version of the show
- 15 tons to represent the population of The Americas. The show was made possible thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor who having seen the
brief run of the show the year before thought that it should return for longer, so that more people would be able to see it. The show was spread over
three galleries – the first looking at the history of The United States, the second Israel, Palestine and The Middle East and the third a more general
look at the world, past and present.
It was lovely to be back at The Skirball and to meet the friends there again that we had made on our previous visit –
we were very much made to feel part of the center family once more. And to have sunshine and warmth in December was a real treat. Some of the team left before
Christmas whilst Jake and Karen gave up holidays at home to stay to work on the show over the Christmas period.
Spending longer in the city this time also made Los Angeles make more sense and the fact that we had cars brought much more of it
within reach. We spotted dancing rabbis, Father Christmas (on a few occasions), a toucan in a pushchair and Batman;
drove Mulholland Drive and Sunset Boulevard and saw distant stars from Griffith Park Observatory. It was another memorable trip.
