Washington Monument will come to life Monday night

Staff Washington Business Journal

The National Park Service on Monday will illuminate the scaffolding and fabric wrapping the Washington Monument, transforming the under-construction structure into artwork in the skyline, The Washington Post reported.

Meant to make all the unsightly aluminum look more comely in the glow of night, the lighting will create shadows that will mimic the brick pattern of the monument and transform the landmark into a kind of art object. The lighting ceremony, said NPS spokeswoman Carol Bradley Johnson, is ?sort of a milestone that work is progressing on this.

The lighting, she said, will continue each night till the scaffolding is removed, estimated to take place in December 2013 or January 2014.
