You should probably check out Cal State Los Angeles. They have a "mini"
exhibition in the hallway of the geology building. Another good place to
contact could be the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. I seem to recall
that there was a small exhibition that dealt with earthquakes as well. There
were a few hands-on displays that allowed youngsters (and big kids like
myself :-)) to build earthquake safe buildings.

I hope this is helpful!!

        Laura,

        I'm new to all this.  (Just joined the Board of a local Colorado
paleontology/dinosaur museum.)  But we visited Dinosaur Discovery Museum in
Fruita, Colorado.  And they have a traveling exhibit that simulates an
earthquake.  Contact Michael Perry at 1 800 344 3466.  If you do, tell
        him the contact was from the Dino Depot folks in Cañon  City.

        Cheers,
        Deborah
