"Truly one of the world's great natural history museums, the American Museum of Natural History spans four city blocks just across from Central Park. All aspects of the natural world are represented here, from a vast collection of taxidermy mammals, to depictions of the life of Native American tribes, to an entire hall dedicated to marine life—including a life-size model of a blue whale. The crown jewel is the dinosaur floor, with an imposing Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton that dominates the room. The newest attraction comes in the form of the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation, which opened in May of 2023 and, among many other things, boasts a comprehensive insectarium and vivarium. Breathtaking architecture from New York-based Jeanne Gang doesn't hurt, either—the cavernous lobby brings to mind the underground fortresses of Dune, and are thoughtfully designed so that there are no dead ends. Just as with knowledge itself, the possibilities here are endless." - Andrea Whittle, Charlie Hobbs

"Situated in London’s South Kensington area, right across from the V&A, this popular museum explores the diversity of our planet from dinosaurs to volcanoes and marine life. With a whole host of interactive exhibitions, it is a great option for families. The museum is well known for its famous dinosaur collection and large selection of rare fossils. Must-sees include the mammal gallery in the blue zone for impressive replicas of mammoths, giraffes, and cetaceans, and the gorgeous Hintze Hall for a good look at the blue whale skeleton that hangs from its ceiling. When it’s time to rest, take a break at one of three cafes or enjoy burgers, steaks, and pizza at the T.Rex Restaurant. The Natural History Museum is free to enter." - MATADOR_NETWORK
