The La Brea Tar Pits is an active research site in Los Angeles. Tar has seeped up from the ground for tens of thousands of years. Over many thousands of years the tar has persevered the bones of the trapped animals. The museum is dedicated to studying and researching the animals that have been found there:

| How animals were trapped back in the day |
There are some statues in the garden area of the museum:
And then you get to real cool fossils:
The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum are very cool and important place to research the past.
So sad and awesome at same time. You have the best places to visit. :)

ReplyDeleteThe La Brea tar pits are a fun spot, especially as it's right there in the middle of the city!
ReplyDeleteI also am quite fond of LACMA, which is next door.
That's real weird, I haven't heard of anything like that.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know there was a museum. Speaking of the tar pits, are you watching the series on NBC called La Brea? I am :) Thanks so much for linking up at Wordless Wednesday to Foto Friday 3. Shared.
ReplyDeleteWe never made it there, so thanks, I have always wanted to see someone's photos!
ReplyDeleteThis museum sounds like a great place to visit. I like all these statues. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHard to imagine this when simply reading about it. Your photos brought it to life for me. Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2022/10/i-dont-see-one-of-these-very-often.html

Thank you for sharing this interesting place and museum with us at #weekendcoffeeshare.
ReplyDeleteThe La Brea Tar Pits is my favorite museum in LA!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of this until I started watching the TV show of the same name. I found it interesting the creators based it from a real place. I knew it was a research site but didn't know there is a museum. I want to see it if I'm ever there again. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS Patrick! Your post is FEATURED at Wordless Wednesday to Foto Friday 4.
