Natural History Museum unveils 4-year remodel of historic first building
The Natural History Museum in LA's Exposition Park just gave birth -- it unveiled the remodelled 1913 Beaux-Arts Building, with invisible earthquake retrofitting and revamped exhibits. We brought the whole Team Off-Ramp, and since kids are some of the museum's most important customers, we brought 12-year old (almost) Avery Lopez and 10-year old Sophia Lopez as cub reporters. We'll present much more of their visit to the NHM in a couple weeks on Off-Ramp, but meantime here's a sneak peak, plus a conversation with the head of the museum's board of trustees, Paul Haaga, Jr.
