LOS ANGELES, CA–(Marketwired – Jun 9, 2013) – The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) opens to the public Sunday, June 9, as an indoor-outdoor museum, connecting its mission and exhibitions about the planet with the urban fabric of Los Angeles. NHM welcomes visitors from all over the world into its new Nature Gardens — 3 1/2 acres of outdoor exhibits, programming and research space; Nature Lab, an indoor interactive complement to Nature Gardens where visitors are invited to take part in citizen science activities and learn more about the wildlife that shares the Southern California environment; and Otis Booth Pavilion, the Museum’s new gleaming glass entrance and gathering place which cuts through the center of the museum campus to feature an iconic 63-foot fin whale specimen. Facing out to Exposition Boulevard and the city’s new light rail Metro Expo Line, these three new visitor experiences represent the culmination of a decade-long transformation during which NHM has evolved into an active, dynamic center for public engagement and scientific exploration in the next century.
