Instagram WorldWithaTwist:   / worldwithatwist   Usually, we are very skeptical about museums. But this museum exceeded all our expectations! Many mysterious secrets of our planet are kept here. This museum, like a time machine, carried us through the millennia of the human history to places and historical events that we were impressed to the bottom of our hearts, and the day spent here, passed like a moment. What did impress us so much? Right now we are going to tell you about this museum and the Top 10, in our opinion, the most interesting things, which are worth visiting in this special place. The American Museum of Natural History is located in the heart of New York City in Manhattan, opposite Central Park. Looking into the history of the museum’s creation, we learn that it was founded in 1869 thanks to the American naturalist Albert Bickmore. He worked at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology in his student years. Looking for funding, Bickmore met with a lot of New York businessmen and public figures who ultimately agreed to become co-founders of the museum. Sir Theodore Roosevelt, the father of the 26th American president, was among them. Exactly his monument is situated in front of the entrance to the museum. New York City, for its part, agreed to cover the costs of building and maintaining the museum building. The museum consists of 25 interconnected buildings, which house 46 permanent exhibits, research laboratories, and the famous library. The museum's collection contains over 32 million artifacts of animals, plants, minerals, stones, meteorites and cultural artifacts. Only part of these artifacts can be exhibited at a time. All of the museum artifacts are distributed into the rooms thematically, chronologically and geographically. You can take a map, which will indicate the location of each hall, at the entrance to the museum. You can also find the map on the official website of the museum. We would like to introduce you our top 10 list of the most interesting things in this museum. Pay attention to the fact that the Top 10 is formed not by the importance, but by the order of our visit, and all the sights can be equally interesting! №1 Hayden Planetarium We love everything related to space and we knew that there is one of the most famous planetariums in the world - the Hayden Planetarium in the very centre of NYC. And this planetarium is a part of the American Museum of Natural History. First of all, we planned to visit the planetarium. There is the Space Theater at the top of the Hayden Sphere, where you can watch documentaries about space. We went to the “Space Trail” after the performance in the Space theater. The formation history of the early Universe is illustrated here. And these are scales that show how much you would weigh on the moon. After visiting the planetarium suddenly we came into the Hall of the Earth, where you can explore geology, weather, tectonic plates of the planet Earth. So unexpectedly for us, we were swallowed up by the mysterious world of our planet and we completely lost track of time. You can often see schoolchildren and students in the museum, who listen very carefully to the guide. There are many interactive, multimedia installations around the museum, where you can independently study certain processes on the Earth at different periods of its formation, which makes the process of studying very exciting. Many educational films are voiced by Hollywood stars here. Models of planets, stars and galaxies are installed for research in the Hall of the Universe. No. 2 - Dioramas of flora and fauna There are a lot of dioramas in the museum. Dioramas are the real pride of the museum. Each diorama is a complete and valid example of a particular corner of the planet with its flora and fauna. When dioramas were created, they were a unique achievement, a breakthrough in science, because at that time there were no tv and documentary about animals and wild life. And in fact, this was the first and the only opportunity for ordinary people to see wild animals, that they had never seen before, in nature. That's why such dioramas are so legendary. The animal models look so realistic! It seems like all of these animals can come alive at any moment like in the Hollywood science-fiction films. No. 3 - Sequoia Slice You can see a section of a 90-meter sequoia. Individual copies of sequoias reach a height of more than 110 meters - these are one of the highest species of trees on Earth. The maximum age of sequoia is about 2,000 years. You can see a 90-meter sequoia in a slice in the hall of the North American forests. More on our blog.
