Climate Change Exhibit at AMNH

On Monday night I took my older 3 kids to the American Museum of Natural History to see the new Climate Change exhibit. We loved the exhibit. It was beautiful, informative and had lots of interactive bits that the kids could explore.

I especially loved learning about coal and seeing the ginormous piece of coal on display — I don't think I knew that it had a sort of iridescent sheen. Coal is pretty. Ralph really liked the coral display. The way the lights moved made it feel like we were walking through the ocean.

Most of the Museum was closed — this event was focusing on the Climate Change exhibit. But they did let guests explore the Butterfly Conservatory as well. We were told it was rare good luck if one of the butterflies landed on you.


To get to the exhibit, you walk through the Hall of Reptiles.
