ARCHITECT: VARIOUS (1869)
The American Museum of Natural History is an impressive building across the street from Central Park in Theodore Roosevelt Park, Manhattan, New York.
The complex has been renovated and added onto several times by different architects.
For the most part, once inside, the architecture of the complex is lost behind the spectacular exhibits.
One of the exceptions might be the Rose Center for Earth and Space whose modern architecture stands out against the older traditional buildings.
