The Story of NHM Commons

Experience how the Museum’s new wing and community hub came to be.

Visitors in front of a silver and glass-walled building

Celebrating the intersection of science, nature, and culture, this unique outside-inside experience features 75,000-square feet of new and refreshed spaces, including many free experiences. See Gnatalie, a more than 75-foot-long green-boned sauropod. Get up close to L.A. artist Barbara Carrasco’s landmark mural, L.A. History: A Mexican Perspective, and see an exhibition of notable specimens found by local community scientists and collected and researched by our own scientists.
