I came to appreciate New York’s Museum of Natural History fairly late in life, but I am now a big fan. It really wasn’t until Beloved and I lived in the city that I really got the appeal. Now, however, I’m pining for the place. Happily, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History has an astounding number of very satisfying virtual tours on their website.
My favorites are the Butterfly Pavilion, the Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals, and Sant Ocean Hall, but there’s absolutely something for everyone.

I do, too. And it’s broadened my list of museums I must see when the world opens up again.

I had no problem getting in to it. My problem is no time to do much looking around. I will try and do that tomorrow. Enjoyed the little I could see tonight. It is almost mid-night down here in Flordia and way pass my bedtimes. Been super busy. Hal

I have never been there, so for me it was fun to see. I think I’ve seen most museums in D.C. When our NY trip is rescheduled, I’ll be sure to hit this one. I enjoyed the movie (Night in the Museum).
