The AMNH is a great place to learn about the evolution of animals, but also about the evolution of exhibition design, and the integration of tech into galleries.
There are the beautiful though weird exhibits in the hall of the NYState environment, The beautiful though very static diorama's and then the much newer hall of biodiversity and Dinosaur exhibit.
This means that you go back and forth between super slick and fairly clunky videos.

AMNH has a big frog exhibit going on right now. Very cool. Over 200 various frogs and lots of fun info. Wish I'd have kept better track of which frog was in which photo, but fun was had by all.

Spent a couple of days in NYC for work, and had a day off which I spent mostly at the American Museum of Natural History.
Apatosaurus, previously known as Brontosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaurs that lived about 140 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period. They were some of the largest land animals that ever existed, about 4.5 metres (15 feet) tall at the hips, with a length of up to 21 m (70 feet) and a mass up to 35 metric tonnes (40 tons). Their name means 'deceptive lizard', so-named because the chevron bones were like those of Mosasaurus (Greek apatelos or apatelios meaning 'deceptive' and sauros meaning 'lizard').
The cervical vertebrae and the bones in the legs were bigger and heavier than that of Diplodocus although, like Diplodocus, Apatosaurus also had both a long neck and a long tail. The tail was held above the ground during normal locomotion. Like most sauropods, Apatosaurus had only a single large claw on each forelimb. The skull was first identified in 1975, a century after this dinosaur acquired its name.
