1. The American Museum of Natural History

The American Museum of Natural History in New York City houses one of the world’s most impressive dinosaur collections across its two dedicated dinosaur halls. The centerpiece of the fossil exhibits is the colossal Titanosaur, a 122-foot-long plant-eater that barely fits within the exhibition space, with its neck extending out toward the elevator banks.

Equally impressive is the museum’s mounted Tyrannosaurus rex, displayed in a dynamic hunting pose that reflects current scientific understanding of how these predators moved. The museum’s displays are continuously updated to reflect the latest paleontological research, making it a perpetually evolving educational experience.

Visitors particularly appreciate the thoughtful curation that contextualizes dinosaurs within their prehistoric ecosystems, complete with contemporary plant life and other animals from their periods.

9. Carnegie Museum of Natural History

Chances are that if you live in Pittsburgh, you’ve driven past the giant dinosaur statue in Oakland quite a few times, and you’ve at least heard of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. For those of us who grew up here, field trips to the museum were a highlight of our youth (getting out of school to look at fossils and play inside an igloo replica all day…what could be better!?).

This museum isn’t just for kids though—it’s one of the top natural history museums in the nation, so you’ll want to take some time to explore it as an adult too. While many museums use casts for their dinosaur displays, 75% of the fossils on display at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History are real, and the dinosaurs in the collection are the original dinosaurs that started the worldwide fascination.
