Mark Dion’s immersive, uncanny installation at La Brea Tar Pits, Excavations, evokes a behind-the-scenes museum space, displaying new work alongside early museum murals, dioramas, and maquettes of Ice Age mammals in a playful, irreverent presentation in keeping with his meticulous yet mischievous approach.
Mark Dion: Excavations is one of two groundbreaking exhibits hosted by NHMLAC combining art and science for the 2024-25 PST ART event.
