The American Museum of Natural History is the largest museum in the world.
The American Museum of Natural History (Museum of Natural History) was founded in 1869 through the efforts of American naturalist Albert S. Bickmore. Bickmore, who as a student worked at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology for Swiss zoologist Jean Louis Agassiz. Thanks to patrons who joined the museum’s board of trustees, the creation of a unique collection began. As always, the city helped and built a beautiful building for the museum, where the unique museum has been living since the beginning of 1877.
At first the exhibits consisted of stuffed animals and skeletons. But most of the scientific activity of the museum consisted in financing a huge number of expeditions, which gradually enriched the collection and brought it to the first place in the world. Today, the Natural History Museum is one of the world’s leading scientific, educational and cultural institutions. It occupies 4 city blocks and consists of about 25 interconnected buildings.
The museum has a scientific staff of more than 200 people. The museum funds about 100 field expeditions per year. The museum is 25 interconnected buildings that house 46 permanent exhibitions, research laboratories, and a renowned library. The museum has over 32 million items in its collection, only a fraction of which can be on display at a time.
