American Museum of Natural History

The American Museum of Natural History is the largest natural history museum in the world with a mission commensurately monumental in scope. The entire museum spans 4 city blocks and consists of some 25 interconnected buildings. Though today the phrase “natural history” is restricted to the study of animal life, the museum—founded in 1869 on the heels of discoveries by Darwin and other Victorians—uses it in its original sense that is, the study of all natural objects, animal, vegetable and mineral. See the museum in a “Treasures of New York” special that shows the museum's amazing exhibits and goes behind the scenes with scientists who work there. Possessing the most scientifically important collection of dinosaurs and fossil vertebrates in the world, the museum has six halls that tell the story of vertebrate evolution.
