Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Located at 5801 Wilshire Boulevard and opened in 1977, the George C. Page Museum of La Brea Discoveries rests on the center of an artificial mound that resembles the ruins of a Mayan temple, with visitors following a ramp well below the ground surface to enter. La Brea Tar Pits and the Page Museum were rebranded together in 2015 to become La Brea Tar Pits and Museum.
