Dioramas from the Museum of Natural History, New York

"The habitat dioramas are among the greatest treasures of the American Museum of Natural History, Perhaps nothing embodies the spirit and mission of the Museum so completely as these amazing technical feats of illusion, which are recognized internationally as superb examples of the fusion of art and science."

--Lewis W. Bernard, Chairman of the American Museum of Natural History

How very wonderful that New York (or some one at the top) hasn't tried to "modernize" it and make it all interactive by blowing some budget. I love that I can walk into the same Museum my father did in the 1930's and be just as amazed as he was in the days before world war two. There was a mystic, heaven reaching quality to so much of the state archetecture at that time and it's spirit is simply irreplacable.

I love the animals in there habbitats.
