Natural History Museum of Los Angeles

As one of L.A.'s oldest museums, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County has over 100 years of experience in making a moment last forever. The museum offers two distinct museum venues that inspire a sense of wonder, discovery, and responsibility for our natural and cultural worlds. Guests can dance with dueling dinos, dine in the Western Plains, sip cocktails by the pond in their very own personal garden, or party surrounded by mammoths and saber toothed tigers, providing guests with an incredible experience and long-lasting memories.

Memorable Moment
Walk back in time over 100 years to stand in the Rotunda, the museum’s original Beaux Arts entrance. It was featured in the 2002 Spider-Man film. You can spy Peter Parker and his classmates walking through the iconic space as they tour a science lab.

Testimonial
"Getting married at the Natural History Museum was such a memorable experience. The ceremony was in the African Mammal Hall. With the right lighting and minimal floral arrangements, it looked absolutely incredible. It felt so warm and intimate. Our guests were equally enthused—pretty much everyone we talked to said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. So much of that was about the uniqueness of the venue." —Catherine Thomas, Wedding Wire Review
