L.A. Museum Of Natural History: Money Well Spent

by Reviewer Rob

Went to the Museum of Natural history in Los Angeles in November. If you haven’t been there recently their current exhibit is Grandes Maestros and is running through September 13, 2015. Below are some photos I shot of the main exhibit hall, which is an engrossing experience in itself. The Aztec, Mayan and Toltec art room is worth an hour of any art lovers time, and the hall of taxidermied dioramas has plenty of well-lit photo ops. It’s is a fun value for kids young and old. More public funding – federal, state and local – should be put into museums and libraries, instead of the crooked banksters. Seriously, dollar for dollar public education is better.
