Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County exists to advance knowledge and to enable people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests to appreciate their natural and cultural heritage. The Museum assembles, conserves, interprets, and holds in trust collections of irreplaceable objects from nature and human history. These collections reveal the history of the Earth and the evolution and diversity of life and culture. They sustain programs of research, exhibits, education, and publication.

Since 1913, when it opened as the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science, and Art, the Museum has grown in achievement until it ranks by every measure among the Pacific Rim's most prominent museums.

Mesa Southwest Museum, Mesa, AZ

The Mesa Southwest Museum is now experiencing one of the most exciting chapters in its twenty-three year history. In 1996, the City Council approved plans to add approximately 40,000 square feet of space to the existing museum. The expanded areas of the museum include the newly opened Discovery Resource Center, a roof-top terrace, and new gallery space. New exhibits include "Arizona in the Movies," more dinosaur skeletons (such as Tyrannosaurus rex), a gem and mineral hall, and a meteorite exhibit. The new building was completed last summer, and the new exhibits were opened May 27, 2000.
