promoting the love of natural science, the outdoors, and learning
DTLA Gallery, specializing in natural science art, minerals, and natural specimens.
Started in the spring of 2010 by mineralogical entrepreneur, Justin Zzyzx for the expressed purpose of bringing the wonders of nature and science to the urban environment.
Our mission at the Zzyzx Gallery of Natural Science is to bring back together the disciplines Art and Science. From our 21st century vantage point, science and technology seem far removed from the fields of visual and performing arts; but even as recently as the 1960's scientists, especially those involved in field research, relied heavily on the talents of artists and illustrators to depict the wonders the natural world.
Today with modern computer rendering techniques and advances in imaging software; blurring between the fields of art and science creates new and varied ways for artists to express themselves.
our Retail DTLA store front is Now Closed, but we still offer field trips, educational materials, and of course minerals, lapidary, crystals, fossils for sale online
