Upcoming Exhibits



Dinosaur Mysteries and North Campus

Meet an iconic Triceratops, a huge aquatic Morenosaurus swimming through the air, and your new friend, Thomas the T. rex, who is grouped with T. rexes of different ages to illustrate how dinosaurs grow. These startling specimens, coupled with simulated dig sites and touchable fossils, will bring you behind the scenes of paleontology in Dinosaur Mysteries!

Outside, we're building "learning gardens" on top of an underground parking structure. That means three acres of new green space, and a place we can learn about the nature in our Southern California backyard.   

Under the Sun Exhibit and the New Discovery Center

Under the Sun will explore the history of Los Angeles in a new way.

The Los Angeles River once flowed where the Museum stands today. A fossil of an ancient whale has been unearthed near downtown Los Angeles; early settlers left traces of their lives. There is so much history in our own backyard.

Want to hold the world in your hands? In our lively new Discovery Center space nearly everything will be interactive and will provide fun learning experiences for children and adults.
