American Museum of Natural History: Science

The American Museum of Natural History was established in 1869. Over this period of spectacular scientific achievement, the Museum has played a leading role in exploration, discovery, and theoretical advances in the natural sciences. Central to these efforts has been the accumulation of one of the world's great Museum collections. The collections and research assets are cultivated by continued exploration-over 100 expeditions and field projects annually. A critical resource for the scientific effort is the Museum's Library. With over 400,000 volumes, it is one of the great natural history libraries in the world.

In a new video, Dr. Michael J. Novacek, Senior Vice-President and Provost of Science, highlights expeditions led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History in 2008 and read about the latest news about Archaeopteryx, and the new Horned Tyrannosaur.
