The La Brea Tar Pits' Renaissance: A Chance to Reimagine Science in the City The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum has long been a treasure trove of fossilized secrets, often overlooked amidst Los Angeles's gleaming cultural institutions.
For nearly five decades, this unique site has drawn visitors with its vast collection of ice age flora and fauna, including mastodons and saber toothed cats.
A $240 million project, set to begin in July, will update the museum's interior spaces, research facilities, and learning areas.
