The Natural History Museum of LA hosts the first Friday of every month throughout the summer with a special engagement showcasing fascinating discussions on science and history with guest speakers, special band performances and DJs, all while the museum is open for guest to wander and explore the three floors that exhibit fossils, ancient artifacts, special galleries and pavilions of many cultural and anthropological subjects.
This year proved more festive than last catering to more lounge seating, food and beverages. There were stations that sold art and sampled new market products. Word seems to have caught on about First Fridays because the event was SOLD OUT! The turnout was great and lines had to be formulated for headlining bands The Ruby Suns and Wolfmother.
May AGENDA: Darwin's Origin of Species: From a Theory of Evolution to a Cultural Revolution / TOUR "Tour of Vertebrate Paleontology Collections: Preview to the Human / Evolution exhibit in the new Age of Mammals Hall" / DISCUSSION with Dr. Donald C. Johanson "Lucy's Legacy: The Quest of Human Origins" / moderated by Dr. Michael W. Quick / PERFORMANCES with The Ruby Suns and Wolfmother / DJ sets with The Phatal DJ + Chico Sonido (dublab, Mexico)
