American Museum of Natural History
About American Museum of Natural History
On the Upper West Side in Manhattan, the American Museum of Natural History sits at 200 Central Park West, facing Theodore Roosevelt Park. Founded in 1869, the museum is a sprawling complex of interconnected buildings with dozens of permanent halls, plus the Hayden Planetarium for astronomy programs and space shows. Its calendar leans toward public science, with ticketed exhibitions, lectures, film screenings, and family-focused events that extend the galleries after hours. The scale is felt in the pace of a visit, where natural history becomes a schedule as much as a collection.
