Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County opens new $75 million ‘front porch’ on Nov. 17

With the hope of getting more people through their doors, Natural History Museum officials are opening the venue’s new “front porch” this Sunday, Nov. 17 with a free community block party that will include live music, food and even a dinosaur.
“We really want to be a place that the community sees is for them. So it’s important for us to have a space that people can come into and feel like they’re welcomed and they belong here,” said Dr. Lori Bettison-Var
