Weekday Sketchers at AMNH Gilder Center
 |
| Glider Center |
We have all been to the American Museum of Natural History to see the dinosaurs and the dioramas. But how many of us have explored the Gilder Center in the recently constructed addition along Columbus Avenue? This week let's take an in-depth look at this interesting place. Built to look like and underground cavern. (my opinion! What;s yours?) this area houses the gem collection, the Insectarium and the newest fossil (can a fossil be new?) the Apex Stegosaurus.
Not interested in bugs or gem stones? No problem. The rest of the incredible museum awaits you and your sketchbook!
