About this Event

Wonder about natural history research collections? Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of Moore Laboratory of Zoology. Tucked within a liberal arts college in Northeast Los Angeles, the Moore Lab is a hidden research gem housing over 65,000 museum specimens, with 39,000 of those being bird study skins from Mexico.

Discover native bird species, a painstakingly-collected hummingbird collection that represents 88% of all hummingbird species of the Americas, rare extinct birds, and see museum specimens up-close that represent Mexico's bird diversity prior to major habitat change.


Tours are educational, free, and intended for ages 10+. For student group tours, contact us here! If you cannot make a tour, we'd love for you to cancel your ticket in advance as space is limited.



DIRECTIONS & PARKING

Your tour guide will meet you out front when the tour begins. Moore Lab can be found on Google Maps (GPS of the entrance is 34.126642, -118.210054) and a campus map can be located here.

For weekday tours, free street parking is available all along Campus Road. We're closest to the college entrance at Armadale Avenue and Campus Road. From there it's a five-minute walk: head north on American Way, right on Weller Road, left on Bird Road and continue under the walkway to make a direct right up the hill.

For weekend tours, you may park in any campus parking lot.


ACCESSIBILITY

The research collection is located on the second floor and is elevator-accessible. Parking spaces reserved for disabled parking placards are available directly in front of the lab. Feel welcome to contact us beforehand regarding tour accomodations.
