Age of Mammals

Age of Mammals displays some of the Museum’s—and the world’s—most spectacular fossil mammals, bringing to the public an unprecedented exploration of how a special class of animals—including human beings—evolved through tremendous changes in the Earth’s environment, dramatically altering the Earth in their turn. With dozens of rare and authentic specimens from the Museum’s great collections, a host of interactive exhibits, and an involving, evocative design, the new Age of Mammals will be the vanguard of NHM’s five-year-long restoration and renovation of its magnificent 1913 Building, the first dedicated museum facility in Los Angeles.
