Mummies Exhibition and IMAX at NHM Los Angeles

The Natural History Museum in Exposition Park is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. this week, and its add-on 3D films are running April 23 through April 26. (nhm.org) The museum’s calendar lists *Oceans 3D: Our Blue Planet* with weekly showtimes at 10:30 a.m., 12 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., and *T. REX 3D Film* with weekly showtimes at 11:15 a.m., 12:45 p.m. and 2:15 p.m., while noting that daily availability can vary at checkout. (nhm.org) General admission at the Natural History Museum starts at $18 for adults, $14 for seniors and students, and $7 for children ages 3 to 12; the museum lists each 3D film as a $10 add-on for nonmembers. (nhm.org) Los Angeles County residents can get free museum admission from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but the museum says special exhibitions and 3D theater tickets still require separate add-on purchases. (nhm.org) The museum is at 900 Exposition Boulevard in Exposition Park, and NHM says the Commons Plaza Entrance and North Entrance are open for visitors arriving from the museum car park, the Blue Lot or other Exposition Park parking areas. (nhm.org) Time Out’s current Los Angeles event guide points readers to the mummy-themed outing this week, and its museum write-up notes that the Natural History Museum’s Beaux Arts building opened in 1913 and holds a collection of more than 35 million objects and specimens. (timeout.com 1) (timeout.com 2) For visitors planning a same-day stop, the practical move is to book museum entry first and then check the ticketing page for the exact April 23, April 24, April 25 and April 26 film slots, because NHM says showtimes can shift by date.
