Taking the Show on the Road
Millions of visitors to Manhattan enjoy the American Museum of Natural History’s special and permanent exhibitions each year. But there are also millions of people who never come to New York City who take advantage of the Museum’s unique content–through the Museum’s traveling exhibitions.
The Museum launches two to three major special exhibitions annually, relating to paleontology, anthropology, biology, astronomy, and more. Once the exhibition closes at the Museum, it travels to other natural history museums, science centers, and planetariums around the world. Currently traveling are Darwin; Einstein; The Genomic Revolution; and others; as well as three of the Museum’s planetarium shows: Passport to the Universe; The Search for Life: Are We Alone?; and Sonic Vision.
These traveling exhibitions have a tremendous reach: they have appeared in over 20 cities in the United States, 5 cities in Canada, and in numerous other locations internationally. Visit http://www.amnh.org/ to find out what may be coming to your neighborhood.
