Made possible, in part, by Theodore Roosevelt, this museum is probably most famous for its dramatic dinosaur exhibits and for its historic animal dioramas, which display animals from all over the world in naturalistic settings. The mineral collection, which includes the 563 carat sapphire called the Star of India, should be on your "must see" list, too. We also enjoyed the presentation of human evolution. And try to fit in a screening of one of the museum's IMAX shows - they are far superior to anything we have seen at the Sony IMAX theater.
