Have the Museum Come to You!

This is the coolest classroom in the city! Our mobile education programs — the Earthmobile, Skymobile, and Seamobile — are unique classrooms, situated in modified tractor-trailers that simulate science research environments. These programs are FREE and available to Los Angeles Unified School District elementary and middle schools, thanks to the generosity of the Maxwell H. Gluck Foundation. Scheduling is based on a district-wide waiting list. Learn more >
