Read for #JoysofJune (No 4), #Booked2021 (contains photos) AND #14Books14Weeks2021 (No 3)! 🥳

Turns out the dinos 🦖 🦕 are actually in the basement! 😆 Published in 1986, this short history of the NYC institution is a little dated in language and observations of non-Eurocentric cultures. But overall it was a fine and interesting introduction to the museum and its collections. The pictures could have been MUCH better. Thank goodness for Google!

We went to the Museum of Natural History today and I was reminded of this book that I had checked out of the library years ago and completely loved! It was written by the museum‘s columnist at the time. He writes about the museum‘s history and fascinating legends. I kept trying to retell these stories to my husband, but sucked because I read it so long ago. Well, the gift shop had the book I was trying to recall, so now I own it and can refresh!
