Description
Photograph of the interior view of the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History showing displays of prehistoric skeletons and artifacts, 1920. Curvy metal bars prop up the skeleton of a giant ground sloth. The sloth is positioned on its hind legs with its front legs in the air in front of it. A metallic band, attached by nails(?), encircles the rib cage and holds it together. Tables nearby offer view of prehistoric artifacts. Glass tops protect the artifacts.
