American Museum of Natural History [eng]

New York has a lot to offer for a tourist. I've already written about some of these things in my other posts, linked below.

Read me: Everything near Battery Park
Read me: Series in Greenwich
Read me: Bouncing in Brooklyn
Read me: Silly at Staten Island
Read me: Nature in Central Park
Read me: Cold at Coney Island

On this post I'd like to talk about the museums of NYC, well mostly of the American Museum of Natural History. 

We started our day from having lunch at the steps of the Met. Because I am a series freak, I wanted to do what they do in Gossip Girl, hilarious! Fun fact, those steps are heated, so even tho it was april and relatively cold, we could just sit down and enjoy our coffees.

We had alot to do that day so actually decided to only go to one museum in this area. The choices were The Met, or AMNH. I have no objections for art, as I am an artist, but for some reason the history of animal kind is even closer to my heart. So our choice was clearly, the American Museum of Natural History. And of course, in "Friends" this museum in mentioned:

Rachel: I had one glass. Chandler: I had about a mug full in this lovely “I Got Boned at the Museum of Natural History” mug.

The museum was awesome, very beautiful, great pieces, interesting and god damn how huge can one place be! We figured we would be there like an hour. And at some point they announced its closing time. Oops.

This whole trip we had been walking _a lot_. Every day, we were up at 8am and walked the whole day and back to bed after midnight. So in the museum with all that walking we somethimes sat down. We sat a lot in the museum, so our legs actually did rest for a bit. At one point, we had to take our shoes off, and the stank of our socks banished the people sitting next to us. Whoever you were, we are so sorry.

I am a little sad that we missed the The Met, but those wore expencive to get in, we didnt have the time - Or that much interest to spend our time there. I figure, now if I ever go back, I can take my time and go there. Since everything else cool in NYC is done already!

Before enrering the Natural History museum remember to check your bag, so that you don't have any bewerages and/or food with you, they need to be tossed at the security check up point.

You should really take your time with this place, so if you are tired/too wired to stop and read the info cards - plan this to another time. There is lots to see so really make a day of it. If you love animals, find history interesting and need a wifi - this is the place for you!

I don't want to spoil it, nor would I remenber witch way is what since we ran in circled all day. It has multiple stories and wings so keep track of your goings. I recommend this place with a full heart. 5/5
