LACMA 9179

A view of the LA County Museum of Art from across the largest La Brea Tar Pit.
The La Brea Tar Pits are a source of fossils dating back to the last Ice Age. Asphalt bubbles up
from the ground, creating large numbers of sticky pools that trapped animals which came to the pools
to drink the water sitting on the surface of the asphalt. They were gradually fossilized, along with any
plant material which fell into the pools. Now, these remains are studied and exhibited by the Page
Museum (part of the Natural History Museum), which is out of the picture to the right.

The prominent building in the center of the shot is the Japanese Pavilion.
