    The National History Museum's 'Becoming Los Angeles' Exhibit

    Tradition has it that the City of Los Angeles was founded by 44 people in 1781. The real story is just one of the features of "Becoming Los Angeles: Stories of Nature and Culture." That's the final and largest new exhibition hall in the updated Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.  KCRW's Lisa Napoli attended today's media preview.
