La Brea Tar Pits Museum unfortunately doesn’t have the funding like the Natural History Museum of Utah, but it’s absolutely mystifying to walk in the middle of Los Angeles and smell sulfur. An indoor/outdoor museum, we walked by burbling asphalt pits, read about extinct species, and watched a 3D movie on prehistoric life. Henry loved it!
Adjacent to La Brea, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was comprised of multiple buildings housing all periods and regions of art from Latin American and Pacific traditional to Contemporary works. I brought along a book, How to Look at Art by Susie Hodge, which gave us an opportunity to enjoy a few pieces like the following by Diego Rivero
and Constantin Brancusi’s Bird in Space.
Henry enjoyed this critical thought but probably preferred challenging his own taste, imaging each piece in own home. Either way, we left the LACMA after viewing a pretty wild exhibit on Arabic animation art that sent Henry into some wild dreams.
