The Los Angeles Natural History Museum turns 100 years old this November. I don't go for the dinosaurs, I tend to enjoy the quiet areas of the museum and surrounding park. The spaces that make me feel like it could be any moment of those 100 years, it doesn't have to be right now.
Below are a handful of photographs I've taken during my trips to the museum.  |

This summer's visit included a trip through the butterfly pavilion, the edible garden, and the recently completed "Becoming Los Angeles" exhibit. The exhibit features pieces from early Hollywood including Mack Sennett's movie camera, Walt Disney's original animation table, and the Chaplin costume below.
