I would agree with the other reviewers here - considering what a major museum this is, it feels very worn down and in need of a renovation. I also don't know who came up with the idea of exhibiting the stuffed animals in lighted glass display boxes in an otherwise completely unlit room (huge waste of space) but it's visually awful and makes it near impossible for photos.

It's easy to get lost, and honestly compared to other natural history museums like the Smithsonian it just isn't that great. The staff and reluctant to do their jobs and very slow, usually with only two people to serve a huge line.

The tintanosaurus is huge though, and I very much recommend the free hourly tours they give - our guide was fantastc and pointed out exhibits we otherwise might have ignored, like that sealed off perfect ecosystem glass sphere (which is so cool!)

There's also a ton of kids here at all times, which unfortunately makes things loud, and all of the somewhat cool exhibits like the butterflies are an extra cost (but I think worth it in that case). Worth checking out if you're here with the family, but I far prefer the Met as far as ny museums go.
