NightTales Opens Tonight at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County: Light Art Fills the Halls and Gardens Through January 10
NightTales, a new after-dark experience at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in Exposition Park, Los Angeles, California, opens on the evening of November 12 and runs on select nights through January 10, 2027. It is the museum's inaugural season for the program, with timed entry at 6 p.m., 6:45 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m.; the first two entry times are not available on opening night.
The museum describes NightTales as a premium indoor-outdoor after-dark experience built around artwork by Los Angeles artist Maggie West. West, who works with photography, video and large-scale installation, transforms imagery of real specimens from the museum's collections into luminous works of art for this first season, reimagining familiar specimens through light, sound and projected imagery.
The experience runs through select museum halls and garden spaces, with glowing installations, cinematic projections and immersive encounters along the route; other areas of the museum are closed during the event. The museum says the program offers a new way to see the natural world where art, science and technology meet.
During opening weekend, November 12-15, students at Los Angeles County colleges can save $10 on onsite ticket purchases with a valid student ID, an offer that cannot be combined with other discounts. The museum advises booking early for the best choice of dates and times. The museum is at 900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles.
