Review:
The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) is one of the largest museums in the world. Located in Theodore Roosevelt Park opposite Central Park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the vast museum is made up of 28 interconnected buildings that house 45 permanent exhibition halls, including a library and a planetarium. The museum’s collections feature more than 33 million specimens of animals, plants, human remains and cultural artifacts, meteorites, minerals, and rocks, only a small fraction of which is ever on display at any given time. The American Museum of Natural History is open every day of the year and can be explored on self-guided or guided tours.
