Event Details
This is the first of a three-part series of virtual museum tours. Monday, September 18th at 7PM
The American Museum of Natural History
Founded in 1869 when the idea of a museum is both a place to learn and visit, The American Museum of Natural History has become one of the foremost leaders in scientific research, education, and exhibitions. Boasting over 35 million specimens from around the world, join our virtual expedition as we uncover the founding of AMNH, its historic building, and unearth its most famous artifacts. From its iconic life size Blue Whale, to Tyrannosaurus rex, and to its stunning collection of dazzling diamonds, get ready to explore the earth’s wonders from your own home. Part 1 in a 3 part museum series.
Afterwards, borrow our museum pass to the American Museum of Natural History with your Haverstraw library card and see it all in-person!
