Including its basement level it would add about 60,000 square feet of space, bringing the museum’s total square footage to 485,000, without dramatically expanding its footprint in the park. The addition would take the form of a glass cube holding a new entrance and a flexible, multipurpose event space at ground level. — LA Times
The Natural History Museum plans a makeover by Frederick Fisher and Partners Architects. With the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art on its way, Exposition Park will be getting more crowded. The extension of the NHM is still in the conceptual-design phase. The facade will include large glass cases displaying objects from the Museum's collections. Lori Bettison-Varga, director of the museum calls it the museum's "curated facade". The plan aims to better connect the Natural History Museum to its neighbors in Exposition Park.
