Welcome Day: Fierce!

Join us for a cat-tastic day celebrating the opening of NHM’s newest traveling exhibition, Fierce! The Story of Cats. Discover the diversity, beauty, and habits of felines from around the world–and those that once roamed the Earth. Learn more about the coolest cats in town pawing their way across Southern California and get up close to museum collections, participate in hands-on activities, and get the info you need to know about how you can help the local cat population–from mountain lions to house cats.
