Founded in 2010, the National Museum of Animals & Society (NMAS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Los Angeles, California dedicated to enriching the lives of animals and people by exploring our shared experience. The first museum of its kind anywhere, it centers on animal protection and animal studies (where animals and culture intersect), and nurtures humanity’s legacy of compassion for animals through humane education programming for all ages. Multidisciplinary scholarly exhibitions chronicle many facets of the human-animal bond and offer engaging and transformative learning experiences both in the museum and online.
