Natural History Museum Of Los Angeles County


Recommended Posts

There are a lot of things that can be said about Los Angeles and Los Angeles County.  Much of it is bad right now but we do have some very good things from the past that are still World Class.  One of them is the Natural History Museum.  It is part of the whole complex around the University of Southern California and Exhibition Park.

I've been several times and there is still much to be seen.  A permanent exhibit that interests most of us here is about gold.  I've got a link and then some pictures I took.  Maybe you will see something in the link that will have you explore more online.

Here are my pictures I took in December 2023.

Now we need you to list the capabilities of the alarm system, the guards, and which place in the building these displays are located. Please enclose the underground sewer systems that may run under it, and make sure we have good backup so the cops are slowed down before they reach the area.

The Ruby Mine in Sierra County (photo#6) was a producer of large nuggets. There are a couple of YouTube videos of the Ruby mine. In one of the older videos a geologist walks the mine’s Eocene river channels showing the location and bends where some the largest nuggets were discovered. The original mine owner donated some of the nuggets to Sierra County. Sierra County later donated the nuggets to a LA museum for safe keeping. Here’s a link to the Ruby:
