Location in NHM Building

The MBC and Collaboratory are under the Rotunda in the 1913 Building of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Once you are in the Rotunda, look for the wooden door nearest the “feather” display case. Take the stairs down, and go directly across at the bottom. The doorway has signage for “Marine Biodiversity Center” and “Collaboratory” on it. Use the phone by the door to call one of us to let you in (there is a phone list on the phone).
