The Nature Lab is one of the museum’s most engaging spaces, inviting visitors to uncover the secrets of Southern California’s urban wildlife.
Visitors learn about the local ecosystems and the unexpected diversity that may be found in the city’s backyard through interactive exhibits. The Nature Lab provides an intimate connection to nature, whether it is by studying how animals adapt to urban settings or learning how to preserve nearby habitats.
The nearby Mammals Hall offers a timeless voyage across several global habitats. The craft of taxidermy and the science of habitat protection are demonstrated through intricate dioramas that immerse visitors in the environments of animals from the Arctic tundra to the African savannah. By fusing fine craftsmanship with a greater comprehension of the interactions between species and their habitats, each display tells a story.
The museum’s Dino Hall is a must-see for anyone fascinated by the giants of the prehistoric era. Featuring over 300 fossils and 20 complete skeletons, including the formidable Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops, the hall brings these ancient creatures to life in vivid detail.

Guests can explore themed gardens, from a butterfly haven to a pollinator-friendly edible garden, offering a peaceful setting to appreciate the interconnectedness of life.
NHM also extends its educational mission online, offering virtual exhibitions and resources that allow people to engage with the museum’s treasures from anywhere.
