Wonderful compressive museum with great paintings, sculptures, monuments casts, & even dinosaurs! There is so much to see here. Even the dinosaur collection [which we did not expect to visit] is well worth your time.

Went for the dinosaurs and they did not disappoint. This a huge museum. It was crowded, but since the museum is so large, the large number of visitors was not an issue. We also loved the Hall of African Wildlife, Hall of North American Wildlife, Age of Mammals, Hall of Arctic Life, and Hall of American Indians. All of the displays are extremely well done. There is also an huge and impressive looking gem and mineral display, but since we weren't too interested, we quickly walked past it. An art museum is adjacent to this museum, but the displays I saw through the glass looked to be all modern art, and this did not entice us to enter, so cannot really comment. Would definitely go back again if in the area, just for the dinosaurs.

This museum is excellent. The animal settings are very realistic, and the attention to detail is fantastic. Allow a lot of time to enjoy.
