Long Beach
Panoramic view of the ongoing construction of the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center at 300 East Ocean Boulevard. It is being built on the site of the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium which is still standing, center, next to the circular Long Beach Arena, the first building completed for the complex. The Breakers Hotel is left of the auditorium. The old Rainbow Pier separates the complex from the Pacific Ocean. The complex was begun in 1962. On July 9, 1992, Planet Ocean, one of Wyland's Whaling Walls murals, was dedicated. It extends along the exterior wall of the drum-shaped arena. The mural covers 116,000 square feet and depicts migratory gray whales and other aquatic life that are found in the waters off Long Beach. In celebration of Earth Day in 2009, Wyland touched up the existing Whaling Wall and added a large mural of the earth on the roof of the arena.
