Photos: Best Shots from the American Museum of Natural History
The American Museum of Natural History just finished renovating its Teddy Roosevelt Memorial and its Hall of North American Mammals. We give you a sneak peek.
The American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, NY, is not only one of the best museums in the world, it's also the beating heart for some of the world's most important conservation efforts. Don't be fooled by the polished exterior, while the museum may be the workplace of squishy city-slicker bookworm types, it's also historically been the headquarters for real outdoorsmen and conservationists. The most prominent being Teddy Roosevelt. The museum recruited the best taxidermists and artists to touch up the mounts and backgrounds. In some cases, they used entirely new skins on the animals.

The one and only time I visited this museum was over fifty years ago as a tot when I lived in the city. It made such an impression on me that I was overwhelmed by the innumerable, fantastic animal exhibits. I still can recall some of them even today after looking at your photos. I have made it a goal to visit the museum at least once more in the near future.
Now that is a museum that I would enjoy visiting. Those of us who have seen similar sights in the wilds are especially blessed. For everyone, such displays serve as a reminder of what has been and still can be if we strive to protect the wilds.
