Creation of Samuel Oschin Global Center for Ice Age Research announced at La Brea Tar Pits
The Natural History Museums of Los Angeles has announced the creation of the Samuel Oschin Global Center for Ice Age Research at La Brea Tar Pits, made possible by the generosity of the Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Oschin Family Foundation, which will advance the reimagining of one of Los Angeles’s most iconic scientific, cultural, and community sites.
The Samuel Oschin Global Center for Ice Age Research will be a research and program-driven entity woven throughout the campus, offering international research partnerships, educational initiatives, and digital platforms that will enable La Brea Tar Pits to better share discoveries, support collaboration, and position Los Angeles as a global hub for scientific discovery.
Led by WEISS/MANFREDI and supported by Gruen Associates and Kossmanndejong (KDJ), the capital project will create a more integrated experience of both the museum and the landscape in Hancock Park.
