Museum of Jurassic Technology

The Museum of Jurassic Technology at 9341 Venice Boulevard in the Palms district of Los Angeles, California, United States, was founded by David Hildebrand Wilson and Diana Drake Wilson in 1988. While it calls itself "an educational institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and the public appreciation of the Lower Jurassic", the relevance of the term "Lower Jurassic" to the museum's collections is left unexplained, and "Jurassic Technology" is likewise undefined (the dawn of technology generally being understood as occurring millions of years after the Jurassic).

The museum's collection includes a mixture of artistic, scientific, ethnographic, and historic items, as well as some unclassifiable exhibits; the diversity evokes the cabinets of curiosities that were the 16th-century predecessors of modern natural-history museums. The factual claims of many of the museum's exhibits strain credibility, provoking an array of interpretations.

David Hildebrand Wilson received a MacArthur Foundation fellowship in 2001.

On July 8, 2025, a fire broke out in the museum, causing significant smoke damage to several exhibits. The museum reopened in early August 2025.
