Griffith Observatory

John visited the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles and would like to share a few pictures and some postcards.

Just the ticket

Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, California, USA

Telescopes can view sky objects when domes are open.

Interior shot showing one of the Science Murals

The Science Murals were published on a set of postcards in 1937

The Observatory was dedicated in 1935

The murals were painted by artist Hugo Ballin

The Ballin murals have been called the
Observatory's greatest artistic treasure.

The murals depict the "Advancement of Science"

The Griffith Observatory is a great destination and
the murals are just one part of
what makes the Observatory
fascinating.

Thanks for stopping by John's Island.
