Stuck in primordial ooze no more, the La Brea Tar Pits will get a much-needed makeover. Three teams are vying to design the museum's new look. This week, they presented their competing visions to the public. It’s part of a larger makeover along the Wilshire museum corridor that includes the Tar Pits’ neighbors LACMA, the Petersen Automotive Museum, and the upcoming Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
Reimagining the La Brea Tar Pits
The Weiss/Manfredi concept features a new 1-kilometer pedestrian path that connects the site, enhancing amenities for community engagement and research. Image courtesy of Weiss/Manfredi Architecture/Landscape/Urbanism.
