The Natural History Museum (NHM) occupies a special place in Los Angeles: It's one of L.A.’s oldest cultural institutions, and today, it's the anchor of an emerging cultural, educational, and entertainment hub in Exposition Park. We show off extraordinary specimens in exhibitions such as Age of Mammals, the Dinosaur Hall, the Gem and Mineral Hall, and our beloved dioramas. But in addition to sharing the history of the planet, we also explore the transformation around us right now: Becoming Los Angeles, the outdoor Nature Gardens, and the Nature Lab look at the relationship between environment and people, past and present, in L.A. In all of these experiences at the museum, whether they're inside or outside, we’re interested in the intersection of nature and culture—in L.A. and beyond.

Welcome. Morton's actually exists today because of...hamburgers! Years ago, before co-founders Arnie Morton and Klaus Fritsch really knew one another, they both worked at the Playboy Club in Montreal. The club was changing the menu, and Klaus cooked a hamburger that was sent out for Arnie to try. Arnie burst into the kitchen, demanding to know "Who cooked that hamburger?" When Klaus stepped forward, he wasn't sure if Arnie was going to be pleased or not but was relieved to hear him say that it was the best he'd ever tasted. From that day forward, they called it the "Million-Dollar Hamburger"!

The building that houses The Edison Theatre was first built in 1917 and served as a venue for various retail businesses until it was rebranded as a movie theater and named The Edison Theatre in 1922, and was likely named after inventor Thomas Edison to honor Edison's contributions to technology and his impact on the world of entertainment, reflecting the era's fascination with his inventions. It was also known for its opulent decor. Changes in the theatre business and urban renewal spurred by the declining fortunes of the downtown area finished almost all of them. In 1998 the Edison Theatre was built out as a performing arts space for the Cal State Long Beach California Repertory Company that was affiliated with the California Long Beach University's theater department until its departure in 2006. Its current incarnation serves as an entertainment venue for banquet receptions, corporate meetings, art exhibitions and concerts.
