Los Angeles Underwater: Out of the Ground and Into the Classroom!

Explore NHM’s newest temporary exhibit: Los Angeles Underwater: The Prehistoric Sea Beneath Us in this upcoming workshop. Hear from Dr. Austin Hendy, Assistant Curator of Invert Marine Paleontology, about his role in the development of the exhibit and how our city’s prehistoric past connects to our present. Explore some of the great “discovery” stories on display, then learn how to share this content with students through a hands-on activity led by our Mobile Museum: Ocean Experience team!
