Very interesting display with detailed explanations. Had a wonderful visit thanks to a nice professor who was passing by.

I myself like the universe and the space. However, a stone museum is really too much information, so I was in the UCLA trip to the 唔 唔 磒 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆 馆♀️ (Zhong Shi is in a difficult position). Good color, I am going to the last minute to go, hurriedly screaming for a while, and so good color, met a good knowledge of the museum's uncle (not a staff), enthusiastic to introduce me to the 咗啲 collection.

This is one of those awesome hidden opportunities LA has to offer! This is a FREE tiny museum that is in a single room in the UCLA campus. It’s very small, but it’s pretty amazing! You get a chance to see some meteorites up close and personal, touch them and even use a provided magnet to prove their magnetism! You probably won’t spend too long here, but the campus is beautiful. I’d recommend seeing the (also free) Fowler Museum which is a short 8 minute walk away also on campus. There are other things to see here too like the botanical gardens and a sculpture garden. We also did the (again FREE) Hammer museum a short drive away.

I found the Gallery very interesting with meteorite pieces from all over the world. There were explanations, pictures, some one could touch and some cut thinly with the light shining through them. The rest of the corridor was also intetesting with specimen of semi-precious stones and movies about space activities. Worth a visit.
