As the summer heat\u00a0rises & ignites the endless quest for air conditioning to ease discomfort, we sought\u00a0refuge in one of Los Angeles’ most impressive halls of learning,\u00a0the Natural History Museum<\/a>. Wedged between\u00a0USC & the Coliseum, the NHM has housed its immense collection of gems (literally & figuratively) since 1913.<\/p>\n

Exhibits on exhibits on exhibits…\u00a0from the Nature Lab\u00a0to the Insect Zoo, live animals & bug archives,\u00a0\u00a0butterfly pavillion & edible garden. One day of exploration almost isn’t enough to take it all in.<\/p>\n

The Gem & Mineral Hall looks like something straight out of an aspiring rapper’s nightly dreams. Over 2,000 specimens of rare gems from Quartz to meteorites that have actually rocketed down to earth from the outer cosmos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hypercarnivorous bone-crusher vs. immense three-horned herbivore… Tyrannosaurus Rex against Triceratops. This legendary prehistoric battle scene is\u00a0<\/em>one of the most recognizable areas of museum. Although extremely impressive, it’s far from the only Dinosaur remnants on display.<\/p>\n

A seemingly endless collection of\u00a0animal &\u00a0insect samples grace every inch of space in the Discovery Center with no shortage of interactive activities to keep the children entertained.<\/p>\n
