You could look it up for exact dates & factoid dullness;
recently (to us that means since maybe 1990 C.E. or a bit later, all the yrs. since have mushed into a blurred mélange) the Griffith Observatory was redone; took the shuttle there yesterday.
Didn't bother going in, on the basis of why bother; immediately visible outdoor improvement consisted of James Dean on a pedestal,
& a restaurant (
The Café at the End of the Universe) visible over the western side.
Nearly 40,000 square feet of public space have been added to the existing building primarily by excavating under the front lawn and west terrace. Additions include a large, multi-level exhibit gallery, a 200-seat presentation theater (Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon), classroom, café, bookstore, and new entrances and ramps to improve access to/in the building.

This may be an elevator leading to it:
They're already letting the lighting go.

The place is surprisingly, stunningly beautiful. It took me over 10 years living here to get around to visiting it, in my somewhat blase, "oh, how impressive could it be?" cynicism. But it really is beautiful. I hope you did enjoy your visit.
