Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County

At the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM), discover your world past and present. Be amazed by over 300 real fossils, 20 complete dinosaurs, ancient sea creatures, and the world’s only Tyrannosaurus rex growth series in our award-winning Dinosaur Hall. Journey through the epic evolutionary story that spans millions of years in our Age of Mammals exhibit and grand diorama halls. Stroll through our 3 ½ acres of urban Nature Gardens and get hands-on in our Nature Lab, where you can come face-to-face with live critters. Marvel at one of the world’s most impressive collections of gems and minerals and then learn how Southern California went from a tiny pueblo to a sprawling metropolis in Becoming Los Angeles. Experience why NHM is more than your typical natural history museum.
