"While families come here regularly to keep the kiddos happy, the museum is best known for its blockbuster exhibitions that drive traffic. You can expect ticketed and timed temporary exhibitions that showcase everything from the treasures of China to the culture of Cuba; past hits include the Dead Sea Scrolls (like, the actual scrolls). The permanent collection, much like the space, is varied and massive: There's a giant dinosaur skeleton that rises high above in the main lobby, and you can learn all you want about outer space and the human body." - Megan Barber
