Page Museum La Brea Tar Pits
Located in Rancho La Brea Tar Pits in the heart of Los Angeles, the Page Museum has the one of the world's largest and most diverse collection of extinct Ice Age plants and animals. If you are interested in how the world looked thousands of years ago, then this is a must see museum for you.
One can see and learn about Los Angeles as it was between 10,000 and 40,000 years ago. A few of the animals you will see on your visit, are the saber-toothed cats and other sometimes bizarre looking now extinct species of mammals that once roamed the Los Angeles basin.
Who says window watching can't be fun? Viewing through the windows of the Page Museum, visitors can see actual bones of extinct animals being cleaned and repaired. Take a walk outside of the Museum, in Hancock Park, and you will see several, now extinct, life-size replicas of mammals. In late summer outdoor excavation pits show the process of just how bones are found and recovered.
