AMNH


The American Museum of Natural History in New York is absolutely incredible. I spend hours roaming every time i have the opportunity. Although, the museum houses a multitude of amazing permanent and temporary exhibitions my favorites involve the HABITAT DIORAMA'S, featuring a multitude of species set in natural settings. These three dimensional habitats (diorama's) are created of beautifully painted backdrops, taxidermy and natural and synthetic elements.

The museum was founded in 1869, many of the original permanent diorama's still exist from the museums early beginnings.
