Per L.A. County Department of Public Health, masks must be worn at all times indoors and in NHM's outdoor Spider Pavilion. NHMLAC currently does not require visitors to show proof of vaccination. We are working through the implications of the LA City ordinance with respect to our operations. View our COVID-19 Safety Guidelines for more information.

Our Volunteers Make a Difference

Our Volunteer Program is currently on hiatus.

Due to concerns regarding the ongoing pandemic situation, we are not accepting new volunteer applications at this time. We will update this website with more information when it becomes available. If you have questions in the meantime, you are welcome to contact us at volunteer@nhm.org

This is your chance to join a team of enthusiastic lifelong learners from every walk of life, to share your passion for knowledge, to contribute to something bigger than yourself, and to have fun doing it. Join one of our museum volunteer teams today!
