Un beau musée présentant des ossements de l’ère glaciaire. Situé à côté du LACMA, j’ai visité par hasard le parc et le musée. On y retrouve des puits desquels remontent l’asphalte et laissant échapper les gaz de méthane ce qui provoque une ébullition en surface. De nombreux ossements d’animaux piégés par le bitume à l’époque de l’ère glaciaire ont été retrouvés et sont exposés au sein du musée. A voir absolument !
