The Best Museums in New York City, From the Met to the New York Transit Museum | Condé Nast Traveler

"Truly one of the world’s great natural history museums, this four-city-block campus across from Central Park represents all aspects of the natural world, from vast taxidermy mammals and depictions of Native American life to an entire hall of marine life with a life-size blue whale. The crown jewel is the dinosaur floor, where an imposing Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton dominates the room, and the newest draw is the Richard Gilder Center (opened May 2023) with a comprehensive insectarium and vivarium; Jeanne Gang’s breathtaking, dead-end-free architecture evokes Dune-like underground fortresses and makes wandering feel limitless." - Charlie Hobbs, Andrea Whittle
