Many areas of the complex are open to the public during the day, including the lobby a one-0acre park with view of many L.A. landmarks and the W. M. Keck Foundation Children’s Amphitheater. At the center of the park is a rose-shaped fountain covered with fragments of Royal Delft porcelain vases and tiles. Gehry designed the fountain as a tribute to the late Lillian Disney who loved Delft porcelain and roses. Her $50 million gift in 1987 launched the construction in 1987.
