Homeschool Day

Los Angeles’ Past

Explore the fascinating history of the city you call home! Take a closer look at how people and wildlife have shaped Los Angeles into what it is today, from the creatures that roamed here millions of years ago, to the first Angelenos who expertly managed the landscape. Explore our renovated Becoming Los Angeles exhibit, get a glimpse of behind-the-scenes artifacts that help us understand our local history, and discover how you can be a part of L.A.’s history with our City Nature Challenge!

The Natural History Museum is proud to offer four days each school year when Homeschoolers can come free of charge! Each Homeschool Day has an assigned theme with free drop-in activities designed to help you and your students get the most out of our exhibits.
