Private Tours of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City


The American Museum of Natural History in New York is one of the most amazing museums in the world. With five vast floors housing 45 permanent installations and multiple special exhibitions, finding the best that the AMNH has to offer can be challenging to those who don’t know it well.

Art Smart makes the AMNH more manageable—and fascinating—by bringing you straight to the areas that will be the most inspiring for you, based on your interests, desires, and passions. Do you want to spend your time discovering animals among the world-renowned dioramas before exploring the Hall of Biodiversity? Would you rather divide your limited time between the Rose Center for Earth and Space and the Dinosaur Fossil Halls? Then that’s exactly what we will do.

Curious about native cultures from around the world? Want to see the sparkle of extremely rare minerals and jewels? The AMNH has galleries and collections devoted to each of these and more. Simply let us know some of your interests, and we’ll design a delightful, informative, and enthralling tour suited to you and yours.

Want A Day of “Night at the Museum”?

One of the more popular requests for the AMNH is our tour inspired by the movie “Night at the Museum.”  Families love this one! This tour will lead us to a real statue of Teddy Roosevelt riding a horse, and on to find a capuchin monkey just like Dexter, a T-Rex fossil like Rexy, and the Easter Island statue head that Dum-Dum was modeled after.

Highlights of the American Museum of Natural History

While our specialty is customizing tours, we can also take you to the highlights that some consider a must-see, and we’ll do it in a way that connects with your unique interests and ideas about natural history. A highlights tour can be a tantalizing introduction to the AMNH’s many outstanding collections. Spend a few hours with an Art Smart guide and you can see all the iconic exhibits, from the Big Blue Whale in the Hall of Ocean Life to the Rose Center’s astonishing space shows. On the can’t-miss list:
  • The Dinosaur Fossil Halls
  • The Rose Center for Earth and Space, with the Hayden Planetarium
  • Hall of Ocean Life, with the Big Blue Whale display
  • Akeley African Mammal Dioramas
  • Spitzer Hall of Human Origins
  • The Hall of Gems and Minerals
Whatever your desires, Art Smart can prepare the perfect tour of the AMNH for you. To learn more, contact us >>
