On Friday, Sept. 25 the Skirball Cultural Center held a socially distant RBG memorial display on its front steps, to honor the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The memorial ran from noon to 8 p.m. on the same day that Ginsburg lay in state at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. Visitors brought letters, photos and flowers and place written reflections on the steps along with other personal tributes.
Inspired by the Skirball’s 2018-2019 exhibition ‘Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” the community arts organization Classroom of Compassion created and installed a physical floral and candle memorial on Sepulveda Boulevard. The artists explained on Instagram, “We both remember [the exhibition] and leaving emboldened in our desire to continue moving the dial forward…. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I hope u know how much u mean to the world.” The display was included in the memorial on the Skirball’s front steps.
