Founded in 1988 by David Hildebrand Wilson and Diana Drake Wilson, the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles is an independent institution built around ambiguity. Styled more like a cabinet of curiosities than a conventional museum, it mixes artistic, scientific, ethnographic, and historical displays in ways that often leave fact, speculation, and invention deliberately unresolved. Notable features include Hagop Sandaldjian’s microminiatures, an exhibit on Athanasius Kircher, the Tula Tea Room, and the Borzoi Kabinet Theater. Known for prompting reflection on how museums shape knowledge and belief, it draws about 25,000 visitors annually and reopened in August 2025 after fire-related smoke damage.
