I thought it was time to start back up with the California Friday posts, about underrated or unusual places to visit in California, mostly in SoCal. So up to bat … Museum of Jurassic Technology!

Located at 9341 Venice Blvd in Culver City, this museum will probably have you leaving with a head full of questions and little answers! What did that all mean? Was any of it real? Was that display supposed to be broken? What was it anyway?

At the Museum of Jurassic Technology, exhibits have featured Soviet space dogs, sculptures smaller than a head of a pin, and letters written by people who may not have existed! As one travel book put it, “Searching for a unifying theme or logical narrative to explain the mystifying exhibits is an exercise in madness! As is trying to figure out what’s real and what’s not.”

You have to visit this place and enjoy the journey! You can find their web page here. They were closed for some time, but now you can visit by making advanced reservations.
