First Fridays at NHM! Photo used with permission via NHM Flickr

From January to June, the Natural History Museum stays open late on the first Friday of the month for visitors to explore the museum in a totally new way. This Friday kicks off the 2013 season with a discussion of the Colorado Rockies during the Ice Age, and performances by Lord Huron, Wildcat! Wildcat! and aquarium drunkard.

Pre-sale tickets for the concert + museum have already sold out and only a limited number will be available at the door, but tickets for museum admission only – which gets you the tour, the discussion, access to the galleries and DJ – are still available. Go Metro to the NHM and receive a $1.25 discount off adult museum-only admission. Just present your valid TAP card or LA County employee ID at the box office.

The NHM is located off the Metro Expo Line from Expo Park/Vermont Station or Expo Park/USC Station. Check Trip Planner for more connections.
