American Museum of Natural History is One of the Stars of New York City Museums


The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) is the world’s largest natural history museum. With 45 exhibition halls and the Hayden Planetarium, it is a lot more than dinosaurs with planets, butterflies, elephants, a blue whale, “Lucy,” and lots of stuff you will remember all your life. There are many interactive exhibits too. The Museum is a great place for a first date to see if you want to make some natural history together.

Planetarium director Neil deGrasse Tyson famously named Manhattan’s semi-annual solar alignment “Manhattanhenge.”

Decolonizing

Like all New York City museums, the American Museum of Natural History is dealing with its colonial history. So many things we were taught to be proud of as children, turn out to be truly evil colonizer nonsense.

The Museum is removing some offending statues and exhibits. It is marking others with explanations about how wrong we were. This is perhaps more interesting because it helps us understand how we have been deceived.

Decolonizing takes time, but is worth the effort. We owe it to future generations. Thank you.

American Museum of Natural History Tickets
