Over
Korte feiten: Housing over 33 million specimens, the museum showcases everything from dinosaur fossils to rare gems. It has one of the largest dinosaur fossil collections in the world, including the towering 94-foot-long Titanosaur skeleton.
Hoogtepunten: Visitors can step into a 94-foot-long Titanosaur fossil exhibit that almost fills the entire room, a spectacular sight few other museums can show. The giant blue whale model suspended in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life creates a breathtaking illusion of swimming overhead.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the museum covers multiple floors and halls.
- Head straight to the dinosaur fossil hall to beat the biggest crowds.
- Skip the crowded souvenir shop unless you want uniquely themed gifts.
- Photograph the blue whale in the Milstein Hall early in the day for softer light and less crowd.
