We’re heading to LA – Project Update from Our Senior Production & Technical Manager
August 2024, saw the start of PST ART: Art and Science Collide – an ambitious programme of exhibitions and events presented by The Getty Foundation which runs across Southern California.

We shared our expertise in creating science festivals globally, working closely with Getty and programming partners across Los Angeles to create something extraordinary. We’ve been chosen to lead the family engagement activities, a true testament to our reputation as the original and best science cultural organisation. As part of this landmark art event, we’ve partnered with them to create the three-day PST ART x Science Family Festival at La Brea Tar Pits, Los Angeles this November. This family fun weekend is where art and science will collide in an unforgettable family-friendly event. The festival site will feature tented and outdoor spaces filled with interactive content for children and families to explore the rich and diverse art and science of Southern California.














At Edinburgh Science, we are excited to share the latest progress on our worldwide collaboration – this partnership is a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with art galleries and cultural organisations across LA. We’ve been working closely with them to adapt their amazing content for a festival setting, combining art and science in new and exciting ways.
Our freight has already left Edinburgh, Scotland – the 4ft shipping container has been filled with around 3500 items and weighs 3 tons. Our container is one of 2413 containers on board the ship and will take 6-8 weeks to arrive in LA. We’re now in the final stages of preparation for the event, which will be LIVE from Saturday 9–Monday 11 November.
Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to this incredible experience!
