Come to NHM on May 17 & 18 for the 39th annual Bug Fair, our two-day festival celebrating our bug-eyed and multi-legged friends! 

Dive into a prehistoric undersea adventure with our brand new, live performance starring life-size sea creature puppets. Join us as our amazing puppeteers and paleontologists bring these extinct animals to life.

In the Commons Theater, see T. REX 3D which animates the life of T. Rex, including NHM’s own Thomas the T. Rex, in this all-new, family-friendly film. Narrated by Sam Neill of Jurassic Park fame, T. REX 3D offers a thrilling, immersive experience. 

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the dioramas, NHM is restoring and reopening a diorama hall that has been closed for decades. There, visitors will experience immersive new installations that call attention to dioramas as a unique combination of art and science and explore biodiversity, ecology, conservation, colonialism, and changing museum display techniques.

Take a fresh look at NHM’s collections through the lens of photographer Craig Cutler. Twelve large-scale photographs bring objects and specimens to life, and behind-the-scenes stories highlight some of the incredible research taking place every day.

Dive into our multimedia-rich, immersive exhibition. Discover L.A.’s prehistoric past through the stories of nearly 40 fossils that are uncovering the secrets of our submerged prehistory.

This moving exhibition features Ronan Donovan’s striking images and videos of wild wolves in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and Ellesmere Island in the high Canadian Arctic.
