American Museum of Natural History

The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History houses one of the world’s most extensive collections, tracing billions of years of evolution. Facing monumental dinosaur skeletons, the immensity of prehistoric life immediately captivates the senses. From surgically precise dioramas to sparkling minerals, each gallery tells an unknown facet of our planet. The journey is now enriched by the Gilder Center, a true architectural feat with organic forms dedicated to innovation, as well as the Rose Center for Earth and Space for observing the immensity of the cosmos. Until February 2026, admission provides access to forty thematic halls, including the latest scientific research. This visual journey leads from the depths of the Earth to the furthest reaches of the galaxies.
