Imperial Valley Desert Museum
The Imperial Valley Desert Museum is a new facility in the heart of the Yuha Desert housing Native American and historic artifacts collected from within the Imperial Valley. Opening a new museum in the twenty-first century, we do not want to be seen as an exhibit within four walls, but we want to engage and interact outside of the limitations of the “box,” our new building, both metaphorically and physically. 11 Frontage Road P.O. Box 430 Ocotillo, CA 92259 760-358-7016

[|La Brea Tar Pits] [|Machine Project] valorizes the passionate generalist, the curious amateur, the heartfelt tinker. "Since opening in a dishevelled storefront in Echo Park in 2003, we've presented more than a hundred events on wildly different subjects -- everything from quantum computing, to medieval battles, to floral models of the Eagle Nebula. We try to make difficult or esoteric knowledge not only accessible, but embraceable and fun." (See also [|Museum 2.0: Deliberately Unsustainable Business Models])
