Introducing the Museum of West African Art (MOWAA) | Museum in the Making

Here at the American Museum of Natural History, we want to give people appreciation for what a remarkable animal Tyrannosaurus rex was. We need to understand the climate system back through history. We can plot it on a map and see the past distribution of a species. We can turn this monkey bone into a 3D rendering. We looked at the natural oxytocin in the brain. We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the ocean floor. We walk with this magnificent tool called the rock hammer. We are surrounded by hidden microscopic worlds filled with fascinating life forms. We can start to answer questions about how planets form and how life arose. If we want to preserve the richness of the animal world, we have to know how it works and these are the places to tell you.
