L.A. Museum Of Natural History: Money Well Spent<\/strong><\/h1>\n

by Reviewer Rob<\/strong><\/p>\n

Went to the Museum of Natural history in Los Angeles<\/a> in November. If you haven\u2019t 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.

Pictures below, starting at the top: Aztec figurines from the pre-Columbian art room, the iconic and well-known dinosaur exhibit installed in the main room you first enter when coming into the museum, a solid gold \u201cbat\u201d firgurine in the Aztec room about the size of an adult\u2019s open hand, Miss Piccard with a stuffed adult male polar bear looming over her in the taxidermy room.
