I got this email from the NHM:

For Our Community

We are holding all of you in our hearts during this devastating time for Los Angeles.

Based on the information we have now, we are pleased to offer free general admission at the Natural History Museum and La Brea Tar Pits & Museum through Friday, January 17. We hope our museums can serve as spaces of respite, offering comfort and connection with our natural and cultural worlds, while also providing enjoyable and engaging indoor experiences.

Please see our NHM and La Brea Tar Pits websites for more information and how to plan a visit.

In the wake of these devastating fires, we understand that many Los Angeles children are unable to attend school. In addition to the free educational experiences at our museums, we have collaborated with L.A. County Parks & Recreation to bring our Mobile Museums to community parks that are providing emergency youth camps this coming week. We are also welcoming many students from impacted communities to our museums for field trips.

The health and safety of our staff and visitors remains our top priority. We will continue to assess the situation day by day.
