1913

The original structure—what is today known colloquially as the 1913 Building—was designed by local architects Frank Hudson and William A.D. Munsell.

The focal point of the 1913 Building was, and is today, the rotunda, which measures 75 feet in diameter with three wings.

The history, science and art collection of the museum gradually outgrew the capacity of the 1913 Building, and the original structure was expanded.

NHM opened in Exposition Park, Los Angeles, California, United States in 1913 as The Museum of History, Science, and Art.
