Invisible Worlds Now Open at the American Museum of Natural History 

Thank you so much for visiting! When that whale passes by, we get a chill every time!

I visited the American Museum of Natural History in July 2023 with my family two times. We visited most of the permanent exhibits, (And saw the entrances to the Glider Center from the Hall of Gems and Minerals, The Hall of South American Peoples and Hall of Pacific Peoples) and watched Sergenti in the giant-screen theater visited the traveling exhibit, Sharks and but I also got to met Andrew Epsiten the tour guide from AMNH who narrated the virtual tours of The Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs and the Andros Barrier Reef Diorama I watched during the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020 and 2021. (Lucky me.) I loved the Butterfly Vivarium at the AMNH at the Glider Center and all the butterfly and moth species it featured including my favorites, the monarch butterfly, the owl butterfly, postman butterfly and atlas moth. I also loved the Insectarium and all the insect specimens alive and dead it featured including some silkworms, stick insects and leaf insects plus leaf-cutter ants. I also loved how it allowed us to see into the storage collections at the AMNH where the natural history museum keeps all its specimens (Fossil specimens, animal specimens, plant specimens, you name it.) and artifacts and explained different fields of study in natural history like paleontology, mammalogy, ornithology, anthropology, entomology, astronomy and botany. But I did find the Invisible Worlds exhibit quite boring, I thought it was going to be about phytoplankton and zooplankton and how they are crucial to starting the food webs and food chains of ocean life and ocean ecosystems but it instead explained how different life on Earth whether it’s plants, animals and microorganisms are connected. I wish the American Museum of Natural History aside from opening the Glider Center and awesome Insectarium, Butterfly Vivarium and slightly boring but decent Invisible Worlds exhibit may have also opened a new dinosaurs and paleontology exhibit and the first one since T. rex: The Ultimate Predator from March 2019 to March 2021 called paleoart: Art from The Land Before Time which was a gallery of different models, dioramas and paleoart paintings of non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, sharks, prehistoric mammals, bony fishes, birds, ammonites, sharks and other prehistoric animals from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras created by Charles Knight, Barnum Brown and other paleoartists or even new traveling exhibits based on The World of Dinosaurs: An Illustrated Tour, Mesozoic Art: Dinosaurs and Other Ancient Animals in Art, The End of the Megafauna and Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World with dioramas, information on the paleontology and natural history of, models, paleoart, fossils and fossil casts, VR experiences (Similar to the ones from T. rex: The Ultimate Predator and Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs and shadow theaters of all the prehistoric animal species from the aforementioned books. Don’t you think that will be a great idea?
