Take a wheely cool tour around the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County! 

The Museum’s collection of wheels takes you on a fascinating ride through time, nature, and innovation! These objects and stories remind us how wheels—both natural and man-made—have powered progress, shaped cultures, and brought people together. More than just a tool, the wheel is a symbol of resilience, creativity, and community. Whether rolling into battle, playing under the California sun, or cruising the Pacific Coast Highway, wheels continue to propel us forward.

Now it’s your turn! Use the images below or download the L.A. on Wheels Scavenger Hunt to explore the Museum’s exhibits and uncover our incredible wheeled objects!
