First Fridays celebrates 20 years as Los Angeles’ premier museum after-hours experience, where exclusive nighttime access to NHM brings music, science and culture together for an engaging evening of conversation and community. Throughout the night, guests are free to explore the Museum at their own pace, exploring galleries and exhibitions in a lively, social setting.
This year, we’re getting back to our roots! Live music returns to our North American Mammal Hall featuring tastemaking artists from around the globe, and the DJ Lounge returns to the Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Oschin Hall of African Mammals with locally-loved DJs and dancing all night.
Our signature discussion series continues, presented in collaboration with the Planetary Program at the Berggruen Institute and moderated by trusted science communicator and neuroscientist Dr. Yewande Pearse. Each program features engaging conversations with scientists and topic experts from NHM and across the country.
Grab a cocktail and a bite to eat from our two bars and a rotating selection of local food trucks, and discover special pop-up experiences with museum experts, local vendors and more throughout the Museum.
Museum Members receive discounted admission and exclusive early entry to First Fridays at 5:30 pm, with a priority entry line.
Come enjoy the museum after hours at one of Los Angeles’ most unique nightlife experiences!
