A former hospital in Los Angeles has been transformed into an immersive art experience. The site, once home to St. Vincent Medical Center, is now hosting the "Hospital of Emotions".
This exhibit explores human emotions, rather than physical health. The former hospital was founded in 1856 and operated until 2020, when it went bankrupt. It has since been purchased by private investors, who plan to redevelop the site into a homeless shelter and treatment facility.
