LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The La Brea Tar Pits on Wilshire Boulevard will reopen today following a COVID-19-forced closure.
It joins its sister museum, the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park, which reopened to the public April 1. The William S. Hart Museum in Newhall remains closed.
“The Natural History Museum and La Brea Tar Pits have brought joy to generations of Angelenos for more than a century,'' Lori Bettison-Varga, president and director of the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County, said when announcing the reopening plans. “We are thrilled to welcome the community back inside them after a full year of closure and to make them more accessible for all Angelenos.
