The Museum of Jurassic Technology

“This is a museum unlike any you can visit. It is in a house that is impossibly big inside with rooms in the craziest places. In those rooms will be an exhibit about some obscure but deeply fascinating like the history of cat's cradle string games, a series of mosaics made from the scales of butterfly wings viewed under microscopes, or the history of geometric patterns found in so much Islamic architecture. There are no photos or videos allowed and it is doing you a favor. Everything is super interesting and it's best to go in without a hint of what to expect. The aviary on the roof with tea was finally open and wonderful.”

“Definitely a museum for the quirky and creative folks who enjoy discovering things themselves and assigning meaning. If you want clean cut and clear, go to LACMA. This is more of an experience. It’s like going to your neurodivergent grandfather’s mansion and wandering around while he’s napping. The people at the front desk were quite nice. The tea and cookies at the top was hard to find but quite a nice way to end the experience and discuss with friends. We had 2 hours and didn’t see it all! I’ll be going back for sure.”

“A very cozy and eclectic museum. It is quite tight on space, but very extensive. It has a wide-ranging variety of collections, focused much on different studies. Some highlights included the Tsiolkovsky exhibit, the animal collection, the diatoms exhibit, and the Islamic architecture exhibit. Photos are not allowed inside.”

“Honestly, not for everyone. We liked it though. Come with an open mind when you aren’t in a hurry. Tips: Make reservations online. Grab a fan at the front and return it later. It can get pretty hot.”
