Today I travelled uptown to the American Museum of Natural History – the one with the dinosaurs and where Night at the Museum was set (Ross also worked here). I caught the open-topped sightseeing bus up there so also received a running commentary on the sights to be seen along the way (mostly homes of the rich and famous – Denzel Washington, Sting, Catherine Zeta Jones, Yoko Ono, Madonna etc). The plan was to visit the Natural History Museum and then continue on to the MET and the Guggenheim but what I hadn’t counted on was the sheer size of the Natural History Museum… I was there for 3 hours which meant that I didn’t have time for the others and still get back to the hotel in time for the Spring Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall (more on that later).
While I was there for 3 hours I mostly just wandered and looked – the amount of info they provide is overwhelming and trying to read it all (let alone take any of it in) would take weeks.* I did look specifically for characters from the movie but was mostly disappointed
*Apologies to my quiz friends – I read very little and can remember nothing.
