==Exhibits==
The museum maintains more than thirty permanent exhibits, including:
*The Delani/Sonnabend Halls: Recalling the intertwining story of an ill-fated opera singer, Madalena Delani, with a theoretician of memory, Geoffrey Sonnabend, whose three-part work ''Obliscence: Theories of Forgetting and the Problem of Matter'' suggests that memory is an elaborate construction that humankind has created "to buffer ourselves against the intolerable knowledge of the irreversible passage of time and the irretrievability of its moments and events." There is only experience and the decay of experience, an idea he illustrates with a complex diagram of a plane intersecting a cone.
*Tell the Bees: Belief, Knowledge, and Hypersymbolic Cognition: An exhibit of pre-scientific cures and remedies
*The [[Garden of Eden]] on Wheels: Collections from Los Angeles Area Trailer Parks
