The '''Shrine Auditorium''' is a landmark large-event venue in [[Los Angeles, California]], [[United States|USA]]. It is also the headquarters of the [[Al Malaikah Temple]], a division of the [[Shriners]].


In 1995 Guillaume Depardieu had a motorcycle accident due to a suitcase that fell off a vehicle in front of him. Depardieu needed surgery on his knee. In the hospital he acquired a [[Staphylococcus aureus]] infection in the knee which led to an amputation in 2003 [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0220016/].
==History==
Opened in 1926, the current Shrine Auditorium replaced an earlier 1906 Al Malaikah Temple which had been destroyed by a fire on [[January 11]] [[1920]].<ref name="fire1">[http://www.lafire.com/famous_fires/200111_ShrineAuditorium/011120_ShrineAuditoriumFire_.htm L.A. Fire]</ref> The fire gutted the original building in just 30 minutes, and nearly killed six firefighters in the process.<ref name="name2">[http://lafd.blogspot.com/2008/01/88-years-ago-shrine-auditorium-fire.html LAFD Blog: 88 Years Ago: The Shrine Auditorium Fire]</ref>. The new auditorium was designed by San Francisco-based theater architect [[G. Albert Lansburgh]], with local architects [[John C. Austin]] and A. M. Edelman associated.


Guillaume Depardieu died on Monday, October 13, 2008 from pneumonia.
In 2002, the Auditorium underwent a $15 million renovation that upgraded the auditorium's stage with state-of-the-art lighting and rigging systems, and included new roofing and air conditioning for both the Auditorium and Expo Center, modernized concession stands, additional restrooms, repainting of the Expo Center, and a new performance plaza and parking garage. The entire complex follows a Moroccan architectural motif.
