WORLD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
The World Museum of Natural History, located in Cossentine Hall, contains outstanding systematic exhibits of amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles. Specimens are displayed in a lifelike manner, prepared by sculpture and freeze-dry taxidermy. The museum also is home to one of the world's largest and finest collections of mineral spheres. Gems and minerals, fluorescent minerals, meteorites and tektites, petrified wood, shells, American Indian artifacts, and contemplative stones round out the exhibits.
BRANDSTATER GALLERY
La Sierra University’s Brandstater Gallery, located in the Visual Arts Center Building 1, is home to shows and exhibitions by local artists as well as La Sierra students, faculty, and alumni. The gallery also hosts retrospectives and artists’ talks and an annual juried competition for student artists. Its showcases are occasionally produced in partnership with leading regional art institutions such as the Riverside Art Museum.
H.M.S. RICHARDS LIBRARY
Seventh-day Adventist gospel pioneer H.M.S. Richards founded the “Voice of Prophecy,” Adventism’s flagship gospel radio program, in 1929. La Sierra has been the recipient of artifacts of his legacy, including his broadcasts on vinyl records, notes, and memorabilia. The School of Religion conducts the annual H.M.S. Richards, Jr. Lecture, as well as the Paul J. Landa Memorial Lectures, which is named in memory of a beloved member of the religion faculty. The Richards Library is located below the Dining Commons, next to the bookstore.
