The Cultural Center of Los Angeles acclaimed as "America's Champs-Élysées," this stretch of Wilshire near the La Brea Tar Pits was named "Miracle Mile" for its rise to prominence. The area has retained its vitality thanks to the addition of several museums and commercial high-rises.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and La Brea Tar Pits pavilions, among others, create "Museum Row" on the Miracle Mile. Miracle Mile is bordered by the Fairfax District, Hancock Park, and Carthay Circle.
