Bold Extension to the Museum of Natural History: Showcasing Living Animals and Expanding Science Communication

Science can also be conveyed in this way: A bold extension to the Museum of Natural History in New York shows living animals and makes the small really big.

How boring: there are stuffed animals in display cases, sometimes arranged in near-natural habitats – natural history museums around the world use this concept. Now the American Museum of Natural History in New York is showing us how science can be communicated differently in the 21st century. The museum in Central Park, which opened in 1871, received a new extension. Planning for this began in 2014, and the costs for the more than 21,000 square meters of the Gilder Center climbed to around 465 million dollars. Designed by architect Jeanne Gang, we can now enter a gigantic five-story cavern with long windows via a separate entrance from Columbus Avenue.
