The San Diego Natural History Museum brings experts from around the country to speak on topics including our natural environment, history, world cultures, and art. Lecture topics often coincide with the latest exhibitions at the Museum.

In the state-of-the-art, giant-screen Charmaine and Maurice Kaplan Theater, you can attend lectures by experts in their fields, unique film festivals, film premieres, and more!

Books are available for purchase in the Museum Store. Read lecturers’ bios at www.sdnhm.org/instructors.
