At the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County (NHMLAC), we believe that understanding the past is key to building a better future. Every fossil, gem, and story we preserve reveals part of our shared heritage and inspires future generations to protect our planet.

Across our two sites, the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park and the La Brea Tar Pits in Hancock Park, we bring science to life for millions each year. From groundbreaking research to hands-on education, NHMLAC connects people of all ages to the wonders of the natural world.

By including NHMLAC in your estate plans, you help:

• Advance scientific discovery and research.
• Expand education and access for all.
• Preserve our collections and planet for future generations.

Your planned gift ensures that curiosity, discovery, and care for our world will continue to thrive. Together, we can keep the wonder alive for centuries to come.
