American Museum of Natural History: A major scientific and educational institution which carries out research seeking to identify and describe the earth and its myriad life forms, and to share the results of this work with a broad public. Museum scientists trace the history of life, explore the development and relationships of different groups of animals, document changes in the environment, and describe the achievements of human cultures. The museum's collection of more than 30 million specimens and cultural artefacts includes dinosaur fossils, a canoe carved by Haida Indians, a slice of a giant sequoia tree, and the costume of an African spirit dancer.
