History
In 1987 Walt Disney's widow decided to donate 50 million dollars to the construction of a philharmonic hall that would become a landmark in the world of music, art and culture.
Over 70 international artists submitted their projects to the architectural competition, which was won by the legendary work of Frank Gehry, who proposed an experimental metallic design for the building's exterior and a shoebox design for the interior, mirroring that of the Boston Symphony Hall.
