Museum of Jurassic Technology
An idiosyncratic Culver City 'museum' of deliberately blurry exhibits straddling fact, fiction, and wonder.
The call
Worth it if you're watching the budget and you only have one day.

Museum of Jurassic Technology deserves a place on most first itineraries.
The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
Why
- 01
