American Museum of Natural History
The American Museum of Natural History is located next to Central Park in New York, just across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum is abbreviated as AMNH and is a private, non-profit institution. The sculpture at the entrance of the museum is of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, who first proposed the construction of this museum and was also an expert in natural science research. Therefore, there is a dedicated exhibition hall in the museum to commemorate him.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, also known as 'The Met', is the largest art museum in the United States and one of the most famous museums in the world. 'The Met' has a total exhibition area of 20 hectares, equivalent to the size of Beijing's Bird's Nest, with 8 hectares being the main building. Its collection includes over 3.3 million pieces of art, covering fields such as painting, sculpture, architecture, stained glass, calligraphy, and photography, and it is divided into 19 different departments.
If judged by size, the Central Park Zoo might be a bit smaller compared to the Bronx Zoo. However, if you are taking your kids out for a picnic on the weekend, its excitement and scope are just enough to spend a leisurely morning with the family. The zoo can be roughly divided into the Central Sea Lion Pool, the Polar Circle, and the Tropic Zone.
The DiMenna Children's History Museum is part of the New York Historical Society Museum and Library. It showcases 350 years of New York and American history related to children.
FAO Schwarz
FAO Schwarz is the oldest toy store in New York. This toy store is famous for its giant piano and holds childhood memories for the locals.
