LA Natural History Museum
The Nature Lab
Los Angeles, CA • opened 2013

The Nature Lab allows visitors to develop a deeper understanding of the natural spaces, processes and creatures that they experience outside in The Nature Gardens and throughout Los Angeles. In addition, it provides a platform to learn about ongoing research happening each day at the museum.

The interactive experiences help visitors learn about the methods that scientists use to investigate and identify the plants and animals around us and provide a starting point to get involved with citizen science projects.

Red Cape Studio was hired to develop content and design concepts for the interactive elements in the exhibition.

"The lab’s exhibits are among the most successful I have seen for children in a science museum"
