The Museum of Jurassic Technology is a museum in 📝Culver City, 📝California, that describes itself as "an educational institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and the public appreciation of the Lower Jurassic."
The museum's introduction traces public museums from the institution at Alexandria through the relics and curiosities kept in medieval churches to the private collections of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It singles out Charles Willson Peale's Philadelphia museum, open to all people, and states that The Museum of Jurassic Technology "traces its origins to this period," with exhibits that were once part of other, less well known collections later consolidated into its own.
Its listed collections and exhibitions include the microminiatures of Hagop Sandaldjian, the Floral Radiographs of Albert G Richards, Diatoms: Cathedrals of Glass, Lives of Perfect Creatures: Dogs of the Soviet Space Program, and The Napoleon Library. The Tula Tea Room and the Borzoi Kabinet Theater are on the second floor and available to the public during museum hours.
The museum, at 9341 Venice Boulevard, is a 501(c)3 🏷️#nonprofit organization. Visits are entirely self-guided, cell phone use and photography are not permitted inside, and the museum recommends reserving tickets online in advance because of limited capacity.
