American Museum of Natural History
American Museum of Natural History is one of the world's preeminent scientific, educational and cultural institutions. It houses 45 permanent exhibition halls, state-of-the-art research laboratories and a permanent collection of more than 34 million specimens and cultural artifacts. Six fossil halls with more than 600 specimens are arranged by evolutionary relationships in the form of a giant family tree. The Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops and Stegosaurus are three of the most popular fossil skeletons. The hall's centerpiece is a 2,500-square-foot walk-through diorama that depicts part of the Dzanga-Sangha rain forest, one of Earth’s most diverse ecosystems. Featuring more than 160 species of flora and fauna, the diorama uses video and sound to re-create the ecosystem at dawn, at an elephant clearing and degraded by human intervention along a road. The Bernard Family Hall of North American Mammals features 46 mammal species in dioramas of various North American environments.
