I’m now 71 and I remember going to this museum with my father when I was 7 years old. It was such a grand trip for me as I never got to be alone without my siblings but on this memorable day I was. It was just Daddy and me... a little girl with patent leather Mary Jane shoes holding her Daddy’s hand amazed by what she saw and heard. I did not know it but we were poor. I had been taught not to ask for anything at any time, anywhere. So when my Dad offered to rent the headphones for the dioramas I was shocked and delighted. I kept taking them off saying Daddy listen too. What a marvelous day. At the end of the day my Dad took me into the museum store and bought me a paperback book about dinosaurs which I treasure till this very day. Thank you for this museum where do much is taught and treasured.

You'll never see it all in a day, you can start when they open the doors, and sill won't complete your tour by closing time. It's the best museum I've ever been into in my life.
@NYJimbo7 жыл бұрын
Very true. As a matter of fact if you TRY to take it all in on one day you will become exhausted and wont enjoy it as much. We did that the first time decades ago and by the end of the day we were not enjoying it. We went again years later and spent most of the time just viewing what we didnt see or was more interesting and that was more enoyable.

googleboyny very true it's like battle fatigue. It's all enthralling while on your sofa but when the walking and standing and hunger and restroom searches and more walking and more standing and... Better to do a highlights run or a particular hall destination for a season by season romp.

Agreed. I tried to do exactly that this weekend. I spent from 10 o'clock, opening time, to 5 forty-five, closing time, here one day, and then four hours more the next (all the time that I had in New York), and I still felt that I had only scratched the surface. I feel that really, one day per floor is necessary. *Maybe* floors 3 and 4 can be combined in a day, but floor 1 and floor 2 absolutely require each a day of their own. (And that's not even counting the space/cosmos extension to the museum.) Agreed that it's the best single museum in the world. (The Prussian collections in Berlin alone can surpass it, but they're divided into multiple separate museums.)

I'm a Brit and have never been to the museum. However, when I was a child in the 70s I read the book Catcher in the Rye, in which a teen boy spends the day wandering around NY including the museum. He explains some of the exhibits in detail (as they were in the 50s when the book was written).

I grew up in NYC and loved going to the museum when I was a kid. The diorama was always my favorite part. I've been there a million times and still never saw every part. I reckon there are very few people who can say they have been to every single part, on every floor, of that huge structure. So many iconic places in NYC, like the Central Park Zoo or skating at Rockefeller Center in the winter, were familiar places I loved going to as a kid. Great city to grow up in. But, as any New Yorker knows, the city is a double-edged sword. Now, I live in the UK and look out my window with a view of horses in fields. I'd rather have my UK view over a penthouse view in NY any day.

I can still remember as a very little boy climbing onto the herd of Elephants sculpture, and standing in that incredible place for just a few moments until my father realized where I was!

I have to say it's better now than ever, one of the great jewels of New York City...GO!

This was my favorite place as a kid. I can't even tell you how many times I have been there. It is a shame, however, that they replaced the life size fish with television screens. What made this place so magical was that it was so never changing. And I think that kids respond more to those dioramas than they do to the technological modernizations. Kids get enough TV at home.

To be honest, I was moved to tears of gratitude for our dear Theodore Roosevelt. They're very right had he not protected these immensely glorious wild areas, all that beauty would have been transformed into vast, ugly, grey, soul-eating, concrete jungles of modernity. Enormous wastelands of industry and broken people. Thank you so much for posting this Treasure of New York video I really appreciate it and God bless you for sharing this experience with me.

As far as dioramas go, they never showed the sea life dioramas which are equally stupendous. Whenever I've shown out-of-towners around, this museum has always been number one on the sight-seeing list. Growing up, I'd gone here every couple of years whether with others or alone. It plain didn't matter.

It was removed because it showed a Native American and an African person attending to him like servants while he towered above. Roosevelt's great-grandson, Theodore Roosevelt IV, supported the decision, saying "The world does not need statues, relics of another age, that reflect neither the values of the person they intend to honor nor the values of equality and justice." Furthermore, the statue was never destroyed, merely moved to the Theodore Roosevelt presidential library in North Dakota
