I think this place is great. It is quirky, interesting, and full of many different things to see. Some are pretty amazing and others.not so much. The concept is strong and it has some really interesting exhibits. I wouldnt bring little kids here though. Both our children are high school age and they liked it. Little kids might not like it so much. It is way larger than you would expect.

It was truly a wonderful experience for our family especially for my little brother. He really enjoyed these illusion exhibits and he made the best out of everything. Weve realized that he really enjoyed it and he was a great actor. It was really fun but really packed inside, we had to line up inside and wait for everyone to take turns to take photos because there were so many people. We also purchased tickets through trip advisor days in advance so that well have the ticket ready. But when we got to the location there was a huge line, we also had to wait on line even though we had the tickets ready.

Was totally confused. No theme detected. Thought I was on acid, but didnt recall taking any. 5 outta 5, would recommend

Thank you Jose and team for the tree trimming work today! Your team did a fantastic job! They were fast, polite and very professional. They did a great job cleaning up, leaving the place spotless. I know I made the right decision going with you guys!

So this place came highly recommended to us and maybe I’m not getting it but I found it to be rather random and weird - not good weird just perplexing weird. There is a strong Adams Family vibe that makes me think something creepy is going down in the back rooms and the eerie staff seem to enhance the whole ghost-like atmosphere. It was okay, definitely memorable and something I will think about for the rest of my entire life. Thanks.

The Museum is Jurassic Technology has long been one of my all-time favorite places in Los Angeles! It’s completely unique, from a fascinating, meticulously curated permanent collection; its top floor tea room (serving complimentary tea and cookies daily!) and adjoining Cloisters-meets-Morocco style rooftop courtyard, replete with cooing doves and a lush secret garden. And don’t even get me started on the gift shop: it. Is. AMAZING and typically the first place I go when gift shopping for good friends and family (and self, to be honest!) SO relieved the shop is still open online, saving my 2020 Christmas gift game from succumbing to this year’s hell loop hallmarks: dread, fury, fear, extreme disappointment, timeless in the worst way (b/c it’s lost all meaning—how long have we been in this? 6 months or a quarter century??), etc.When this current shitstorm era is finally over (in 500 years), the Museum of Jurassic Technology will be one of my first stops! Until then, I will do whatever I can to support this singular institution (and urge others to do so, too (if you can—lean times)). CHECK OUT THE GIFT SHOP!!

So what is this place? Well, thats honestly part of the experience. This is the greatest museum I have been to and one of the best reasons to visit LA. From the moment you walk in, you know that this place is intentional. Its not just a smattering of art or a walk through a certain era of history. There is something going on that you suspect is above your head or maybe a joke you are trying to get in on. It seems to reveal the bizarre ways in which humans interact with themselves and the environment. In some ways it feels eerie and haunting. A recent exhibit demonstrated ways that humans have used parts of nature, like lithium or animal tongues, to cure disease. Another explored the strange history of trailers in America and another detailing the exploits of an obscure scientist in his hypotheses about magnetism. On my first visit one month ago I purchased a membership and have been back three times since then. Not only is this a museum but also a nice little thinking and talking spot with tea and cookies in a garden where a few doves (!) live. The outside is deceptively small, but the interior is absolutely massive.

It’s a shame because it’s clear that the organizers want to share what they find interesting about items in the museum but just can’t. When you try to figure out what the collections are about, you’re met with informational plaques that read like the first chapter of a biography. The museum desperately needs a judicious editor to come in and rewrite all these plaques and create some sense of logic to the museum.

Unique date destination. I recommend you dont spend much time reading about the exhibits and just go. If you like weird this is the place for you.

The strangest place in LA. Has plenty of highly unique oddities to look at. The buildings architecture is actually pretty incredible in some places. I will say that it’s very dark inside and some of the exhibits don’t really make much sense. But it’s definitely an option if you’re looking for something unlike anywhere else.

If you’re the kind of person who has a slightly warped sense of humor, you’ll love this museum. It’s like a bizarre trip through a chapter of a Douglas Adams book. The cup of tea at the end was a perfect finale to a bite sized adventure. Definitely not a place for kids, as it would take a more patient person to absorb the concept.

Unbelievable and believable at the same time! Definitely check this place or if youre in the area. Plus, theres delicious tea on the top floor.

For museum lovers its great. Weird, eclectic set of exhibits that range from the strange histories of popular historical figures to unfounded technologies that never made it because they were too radical for their time.Enjoyable for a date since its easy to go through the entire small museum at your preferred pace, enjoy the tea room (and occasional love music towards the evening), and its in the heart of Culver, so plenty of bars, restaurants, and activities in walking distance.

One of the single greatest places I have ever been. I would try to explain it but it’s borderline impossible to explain. Don’t try to read up about it at all beforehand, just go. Make sure you go up to the roof at the end.

Fascinating place. Really makes you question everything. Worth going just to be introspective of your expectations and even be pleasantly surprised at several points. Dont want to post any spoilers, so can see it for yourself :)

If you enjoyed this, you should visit MONA in Hobart, Tasmania. This is a very small version of MONA. Weird and nice garden up top.

Cool place not as big as i imagined but still cool. A lot of neat and interesting finds.

Not for everyone, but one of my favorite museums anywhere. A place for odd, weird, and outlandish philosophical ideas and musings of art to manifest into physical objects and be put on display for the public. Don’t expect to walk away with a better understanding of the world around you.

A time warp. Truly no words to describe this place. If you want to look at odd things that you never knew existed coupled and learn some science, this is your place. Its an experience worth trying to say the least. I left walking out wondering what I just saw. They do have a lovely courtyard on the upper floor with birds and the best tea they make complimentary. Its a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of LA Life.

Imagine the most well funded and beautifully conceived boutique museum you have ever enjoyed, crossed with the fully immersive insanity of Meow Wolf, and that is *kind of* what you will enjoy here. We happily spent hours in this parrallel universe, and still didnt absorb half of it.Do yourself a favor and block out a full afternoon to enjoy this.

What a weird and wonderful place. Hard to describe, but utterly fascinating. Its a museum, for sure, but its also definitely an experiential art installation. Make sure to check out the tea room upstairs and the patio. Its like being transported to another world.

A place that exists outside of time, the most unique experience you will find in LA. The tea is amazingly satisfying too. Youll need to go with enough time to carefully appreciate each exhibit. An hour longer than you would think, as the movies shown are incredibly enthralling.

This place is a gem. So many interesting and quirky things to see. Plan a visit for 2-3 hours to see everything thats there.

An afternoon extremely well spent. The atmosphere is just so interesting and captivating. It easily kept the attention of my high energy 7 yr old for a full 2 hours. Amazing! I was worried about bringing my children, but pleased to find that it actually was rather enjoyable for the entire family.

I applaud this places creativity but I think it has an opportunity to be funnier on the BS it makes up. Maybe it’s a style of comedy I just don’t get but either way, if you live within 30mins and can afford $8, it’s an interesting way to spend an hour and then grab lunch in nearby Culver.

Strange but wonderful. A little tight and stuffy inside but that just adds to the weirdness. Great little gift shop and the tea on the rooftop was delightful!

Extremely interesting and very unique. A hidden gem. However there is no parking and street spots are impossible to find. Very dark to the point that some exhibits cant be seen. Quite a few exhibits dont have explanations. Friendly staff, very cool rooftop relaxation tea garden. Very well priced.

This place has some very interesting and curious things on display packed into a building. Some areas are a little too dark to see and read the information on display, but overall I saw some cool stuff on display. $8 admission fee was worth it. The hidden theater by the organ, tea room, and roof garden upstairs were pleasant touch after all the walking around.

My favorite museum in Los Angeles. It’s a cabinet of curiosities that you can walk through. This place tells a story that is enigmatic and magical if you let your imagination do its job and open your mind to the adventure. There are also cookies and tea at the end of the maze if you want to sit and contemplate your journey. Warning, if you are a cynical person, this place may not be for you, if you are too cool, this also may not be for you. But if you are cynical or too cool, be the best you and let others enjoy their experience, make their own memories, come to their own conclusions and discuss your findings AFTER you leave so as not to poison the well for people who enjoy the wonder of the Museum of Jurassic Technology.

Pleasantly odd, thats all you need to know. If you are open minded and dont take things too seriously, please go here. Really shouldnt read too much about it, better to be surprised. Make sure you have enough time 2-3 hours recommended if you really want to take everything in. Its small, but has a lot of details. Only set aside an hour and a half, naively thinking that because of its size that it wouldnt take very long, but I will need to make another trip back to finish up. Worth it. (not recommend for the young ones, and teenagers only if they have an interest in spending a lot of time reading peculiar things)

Interesting things to learn about.

What a trip this place is. I feel like you would have to visit three or four times to understand the whole scope.

Wonderfully weird and bizarre. For fans of the occult, curio, and oddities. Theres a smart, little tea room upstairs and a lovely courtyard with friendly birds.

This adventure embarked upon even when it’s high noon will still start just as dark when you enter. I speak of light not atmosphere, but the atmosphere is where adventure comes to life. Looking into all the exhibits of this museum, the existence of which I was set upon by Taliesin Jaffe The connoisseur of teenage, as wholes, or taken as parts, those exhibits are the sense of discovery. That sense playing the Critical Role is itself unscripted adventure, though some would argue. Wander through at your leisure and go upstairs for a spot of tea and cookies. Wonder the mystery of the past shown in exhibits, some images of people past. Others history of this or that, and of course many exhibits talks machina. Be it rockets or string or calling of bats. Find peace in the garden or least the symbol of. Thus exit adventure done, continue to love this gem of L.A. The Museum of Jurassic Technology.

This place was interesting but eerie. We had to turn our phones off and the museum was like a dark maze. I would suggest marking landmarks and turns so you dont get lost. I didnt feel right when exploring the museum, but I think it would take an adventurous person to enjoy it.

Definitely not what I was expecting and not our sort of thing. Also, it is not a suggested donation but a mandatory fee. The building itself was quite cool and I can see how this would be awesome for some people but this place was really weird and not in a good way for us.

Lovely place of historical value and knowledge all intertwined into a labyrinth of enticing rooms bubbling with curiosities!

They had lights that ain’t Jurassic technology

Fun! Came here with no expectations and left feeling it was worth while. The museum holds lots of fun and semi random exhibits that area easy to review quickly, or spend more time on. The tea garden is also fun.

Crazy stuff. I only wish there was more lighting. So much to read, but most of it in the dark. Some of it way over MY head. But interesting all the same. Parking is non existent. Just go to the parking garage. The tea and cookies were MUCH appreciated.

Very unique museum with a collection of items that you will not see in most other places. I particularly liked the miniature art that you needed to view through a microscope to see.

Would recommend! Though quality is hit or miss. Some stuff is fascinating and some stuff seems rushed to be completed. Probably 10-15% of the exhibits are broken, not properly lit, or do not fit in the area.Expect to spend at least 2 hours. Especially if you are want for a break to have tea or cookies.Also, to the exhibit of stairs as you at walking up stairs. 100% you are winning at life.

Pretty chill spot, they had a lot of interesting exhibits on display. My only complaint was that the group that came in after us got a discount on their tickets and our group was about the same size. I guess you would call it favoritism, since they were talking to the guy selling tickets for like 20min but I can’t knock the exhibits for the guy who was selling tickets.

Scientific, mystical, spiritual, historical, ... Something for everyone. Extremely friendly staff and a great tea room too.

Odd collections of assorted items. Cool tea room. No photos available.

I love this place, its an ongoing art installation that pokes fun at museum culture. Its often fictitious and deliberately obtuse. Make sure you check out the second floor and have some tea on the secret rooftop garden. If youre lucky, youll encounter a singing dog who serenades the musicians.Some of the downstairs exhibits have features that no longer function and lights that have been burned out. Id think that they were part of the concept, but they worked on the past.

Super cool weird spot in LA! Dont want to tip the inside to anyone but prepare for a funky, trippy time!

Incredible place. Left me in a weird headspace (in a good way). phenomenal cookies and tea!. I just wish they had more signage on where to start. Definitely worth the visit! Everything was nice and interesting.

Rather eclectic collection, it felt more of weird mystical experience than a normal museum. My older kids were interested but I dont think younger children will get much from it. Some of the displays were broken or not functioning.

This museum defies explanation. Go with an open mind and plan to have it looped around a few times. Then regroup with tea and cookies on the rooftop garden. Just go.

My favorite museum in Los Angeles, possibly in the world. It is a comment on the concept of a museum. Bone-dry humor. Tea, cookies, and tame doves. You will never forget it.

A beautiful, eerie museum, albeit not wheelchair accessible. Highly recommend.

Weird.Trippy.Real?Worth atleast 3 hours.

So if youre looking to spend $8 on the absolutely weirdest thing you can think of, THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU!!!!! We spent probably an hour and half wondering around this place and I still cant explain what it is. The make up of the people visiting at the time seemed to be split down the middle between the utterly confused and the hipsters pretending they understood what they were seeing. If I ever go back to LA with my husband in tow Im definitely bringing him here because after I tried to tell him what it was we were both left with more questions than answers. You just have to experience it for yourself.

Fun museum looking at old scientific theories, historical figures, unique art, and other eclectic displays. Some really amazing and memorable exhibits. Friendly staff. Admission includes delicious tea and cookies, which can be enjoyed in a very serene rooftop garden with live music. Its quirky and fascinating, and theres so much to explore.

This was a very interesting off the way museum. Not at all what I was expecting. Far busier than I had expected as well. Decent price

What was this?! I’m so confused. I think I’ve never seen so many weird things together. I’m so confused.Weird doesn’t even begin to define it.It’s a 10 for me.

Museum is a term they reference more historically, so do not expect a modern museum. For me, it is a collection of random, often times weird or out of place, stuff that likely never would have been kept by anyone anyhow. A lot of people liked it by the reviews and I like weird stuff but this didn’t work for me at all. Sometimes being odd for the simple sake of being odd becomes cliche.

Appreciated the interactive nature of the museum! Highly recommend the ‘escape room’ package :)

Fascinating and enchanting! I could spend days here exploring every nook and cranny. Also theres refreshing Russian tea at the end of the top floor. Dont miss out on the sheer density of magical whimsy that is this one of a kind museum!

Super interesting must see for anyone who comes thru Los Angeles. Worth your time, be sure to visit the tea room upstairs.

Great place. This place had everything for crazy methods to cure a illness to minimalistic art. My favorite part was enjoying tea on the roof with doves

Engaging, unexpected and immersive. Special touches, like hot tea from a samovar and an off-beat flow make this an enjoyable, worthwhile experience.

My boss actually recommended this place a long time ago, more than once. So when I had the chance to check it out with a group, I went for it.I realize many people think its charmingly quirky. A professor in our group said its an example of old-style museums which were non-themed, and more a collection of the latest oddities in science, nature, geography, music, etc...An example is a large exhibit on Cats Cradle, a macrame type art using only your hands, which I did a version of growing up. However we would pass is to each other in growing levels of difficulty and we used bungee type cords.Personally, I liked the bell wheel on the ceiling and chilling with the doves on the top floor. They know the tea and cookie routine and come right up to you to share the joy...; )The reason I gave this 2 stars is because I got a gnarly sore throat the next day and related ailments. This also happened after I visited a cellar in a really old house/restaurant / museum in Savannah called The Pirates House where they used to Shanghai people and make them work on their ships. Theres a tunnel from the place directly to the docks, yikes!I say its mold in the air which apparently is common in museums. And the Juraissac place has an enclosed running water exhibit about plains and the exhibition areas are really dark. Mold does love the moist darkness, que no?So word to the wise, visit with your mouth covered, and be sure to share your cookie.

Interesting and funny. Hundreds of years ago, many scientists were trying to explain many phenomena in the world. Maybe they were crazy and ridiculous, we could find they were curious about the things around them. The preliminary stage of science and technology.

An amazing place full of wonders and mind-blowing stories. A true cabinet of curiosities made into a museum.My favorite museum in LA by far.Also the gift shop has some fabulous books.

The museum has several galleries and an eclectic assortmentof artifacts. The building is a two story labyrinth and aguide map would have been helpful.All the rooms are too dark, even the lobby is dark.I understand the concept of creating atmosphere andpreserving fragile documents, but I think in thiscase they should consult a professional lightingtechnician.We were pleasantly surprised when we entered one galleryand found a lady serving tea and cookies to the guests.We also enjoyed the birds in the courtyard.This museum does not have its own parking.The best choice is to park on the street on Venice Blvdbetween Bagley and Cardiff and use a parking meter.Buy two hours on the meter.

This is a really strange place. I spend the first 30 mins being very confused and trying to figure out what kind of place this is. However the longer I spent here, the more interesting it was. Theres a collection of cats cradle, and papers from someone who published the first ideas behind a cosmonaut. Theres also a great exhibit on microminantures.

Not worth the money and not funny. The best part of the whole museum are the cookies at the tea room.

Interesting place, there is a lot to see and absorb, some exhibits are old and need some attention however, I do recommend it. I like that they give you tea and cookies on the rooftop.

The most magickal dreamy place I have ever seen in LALA land. Not for muggles - I’m a guess those types left all the non-5-star reviews. Slightly more awesome than the La Brea Tar Pits, which I also give 5 stars.

A fantastic collection of information and artifacts of the Lower Jurassic. Highly recommended.

This Museum is amazing! There is so much to explore, we spent three hours here and still didnt see everything. They even have a wonderful rooftop garden with tea, biscuits, birds, and a musician beautifully playing the nyckelharpa. The Museum of Jurassic Technology is an experience you do not want to miss!

Absolutely huge... Good displays and decent organization progressing through time frames and regions. If you wish to actually read information about each piece, youll be there for a week!

This place is amazing. Its like having an acid trip because their displays and films are so crazy. I loved it.

This place is magical. An incredible exploration of what an exhibition can be and how the presentation of information can be illuminating or arbitrary. There’s a book that clarifies the intent of the museum but it isn’t necessary. Just look and enjoy. If you like museums and you have an opportunity to see this one, DO NOT PASS IT UP. Also, leave enough time for tea in the rooftop garden.

Unusual place! We liked it, but in general I didn’t like it.

Eclectic collection of weird and fascinating. Only a must see for those interested in the weirdStill recommend a visit on a free afternoon.

This is one of the coolest weirdest museums in LA!!!

To call this place eclectic is an understatement. The mix of real history and art exhibitions is really cool but can certainly be a bit of a shock to the senses. Make sure you see the exhibit on the Soviet space dogs!

Its different, informative,and the garden/tea room is relaxing. Too bad they dont allow photos (&videos) to be taken.

They kicked me out just because I touched a bone

This place is unique in the world. See before it goes extinct.

Very nice place to spend time. the garden is very peaceful

Any detailed review would give away the premise of this wonderful small museum in Culver City. Give yourself a few hours, bring your curiosity and sense of humor and simply enjoy the ride you are taken on. Make sure you see the second floor and have a cup of tea on the roof. A wonderful, unique experience that is so cleverly put together, you dont fully know what is being presented to you.

A magical experience at the end of which youre not quite sure whats fact and whats fiction in the best possible way. A poetic esoteric cabinet of curiosities. The rooftop garden with cooing doves is so lovely and serene. The Russian style tea and cookies are included with admission. This place is an absolute treasure. A must visit if youre in town for a couple of days, weeks or have lived here your whole life and never been. GO. NOW.

Great place

I really dont mind that everything is fake, but if you arent limited by truth why have a place that is so boring? The only thing keeping this place from being a giant waste of time is that it isnt too big. Whoever made the displays for all of the props did a good job though.

Wonderfully odd. Dont know what I saw, yet Id do it again..

Weird but a little bit interesting

A quirky interesting museum of curiosities and eccentricities. The maze like-layout ensures that every step will bring some weird surprise. Highly recommend, if only as an antidote to the standard museum fare.

So many strange and unique places. We couldnt finish it, and looking forward to returning. It is as much about the evolution of (western) human thought as it is a repository of objective facts.

If you want to see something interesting and different here is the place to check it out. They have a nice patio and tea in the end.

Place has wonderful displays. The whole museum is like a work of art. I just wish they had more signage on where to start. Definitely worth the visit! Everything was nice and interesting.

Very quirky but extremely interesting little museum, off the beaten track. Exhibits change often. When we went there were miniature sculptures that fit through the eye of a needle, examples (with visual displays) of old superstitions, they have things like that. This is not an art museum, rather, a museum of oddities, which are fascinating. There is free tea and cookies on the second floor in the afternoon. Through the tearoom, go up two steps to the roof, where there is a lovely enclosed garden. There, you can sit and sip your tea, and watch the mourning doves as they walk freely around you. Very relaxing! One negative comment... Parts of the museum are so very dark, that its hard to see what the exhibit is! However, I would go back there again.

What an unusually cool museum. I went into this place expecting something to do with dinosaurs. But no! The museum is an exhibition of scientific curiosities and the convoluted evolution of human inquisition. Within the chaos of LA, this is a lovely place to wonder and explore, free from the digital distractions of modern life (they make you turn off your phone).

It is a wonder, and a mystery, and a paen to science and curiosity.

The museum had an incredible affect on my perception of truth and treasury which lasted long after I left. I have never had an experience like this. Please take the time to see the whole thing and look for hidden objects and secret information.

An interesting museum to say the least. There were exhibits that were somewhat educational and other exhibits that made you question is this totally necessary?
