George C. Page Museum, Fossil museum in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, US.
The George C. Page Museum exhibits a collection of Ice Age fossils extracted from the surrounding La Brea Tar Pits through systematic excavations since 1905.
Philanthropist George C. Page financed the construction of the museum building in 1977 to preserve and display fossils discovered in the adjacent tar pits.
Scientists actively work in the museum's fossil laboratory, allowing visitors to observe the process of cleaning and examining prehistoric specimens in real time.
The museum provides educational programs about paleontology and extinction events through interactive displays, curator talks, and hands-on activities throughout the year.
More than one million bones have been recovered from the tar pits, including the largest collection of dire wolf fossils discovered at a single location.
