American Museum of Natural History Entry Tickets Overview
The American Museum of Natural History opened in 1869 on Central Park West in Manhattan and has grown into one of the largest and most scientifically significant museums in the world. Its 45 permanent exhibition halls cover palaeontology, biology, geology, astronomy, anthropology and the cultural history of peoples from every continent, all within a complex of 28 interconnected buildings.
The Fossil Halls on the fourth floor are the most visited. The Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs holds the famous 63-foot Barosaurus skeleton rearing up in the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda. The Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs displays a Triceratops and a Stegosaurus. The fossil collection is the largest in the world and the halls give a comprehensive account of life on earth across the last 600 million years.
The Rose Center for Earth and Space at the western end of the museum complex holds the Hayden Planetarium, whose Space Show programmes offer immersive digital presentations of the universe. The Hall of Ocean Life has a 94-foot blue whale model suspended from the ceiling. The Halls of Human Origins trace the evolution of our species across millions of years. The Hall of Gems holds the Star of India, a 563-carat blue star sapphire that is the largest in the world, and a 34-million-carat natural topaz crystal.
