Text Appearing Before Image:
WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM Between 77th and 81st Streets in New York City, facing the western edge of Central Park, stands a group of eighteen interlocking bujidings housing the 23 acres of exhibits, educational facilities, and research departments of The Ameri- can Museum of Natural History. There are many other facts and figures that can be cited, but the Museum is more than statistics. For the visitor, as he stands before the towering remains of Tyrannosaurus rex, it is a feeling of awe at the passage of time. Or it may be a new awareness of the subtlety of nature's timing, gained from watching four model fireflies rhythmically flashing their cold light. It is the six- pointed star gleaming in a gemstone, or the 9,000 stars visible several times a day
Text Appearing After Image:
lUTH FACADE OF THE MUSEUM. 77TH STREET, NTRAL PARK WEST TO COLUMBUS AVENUE on the dome of the Hayden Planetarium. For some, the Museum is the sound of a Winnebago war party; for others, the symmetry of the sea shell. For most, we hope, the Museum is a deepened sense of the variety and unity of the natural world. James A. Oliver, Director
