I know it’s located outside a museum somewhere in Los Angeles and there’s also a Palm Tree installation with it. Basically its just hundreds of lightpost packed tightly all together.

It’s the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
See the very bottom of this page (I tried a search with “lamppost” as well as “lightpost”):

Outdoor Artworks
Transformation plans have grown to include a number of large-scale outdoor works by contemporary artists. Urban Light is a sculpture by Chris Burden which will incorporate more than two hundred restored cast-iron lampposts from Los Angeles County; Robert Irwin’s palm garden will explore the ever-changing interplay of L.A. light and shadow. Jeff Koons’s Train—a working replica of a 1940s locomotive dangling from a 161-foot-tall crane—is the current subject of a feasibility study underwritten by the Annenberg Foundation; the realization of this monumental work would come in a later phase of the Transformation.
