Frogs: A Chorus of Colors is now open at the Museum, with more than 200 live amphibians representing more than 20 species from around the world. Among the largest animals on display: two types of bullfrogs.

When the Irma and Paul Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life re-opened to the public in 2003—ten years ago this month—the newly renovated gallery was transformed: 14 dioramas, some first built in the 1930s, had been restored, and brand-new ecosystem displays highlighted the diversity of ocean habitats and the species that lived together within them. The blue-whale model, on display since 1969, was renovated, too.

On Thursday, May 30, at the Museum, a bevy of explorers and researchers will explain the connection between Arctic whales and climate-change research at a special event, World Science Festival: How Whales are Unlocking Arctic Secrets.

This Saturday, the live-animal exhibition Frogs: A Chorus of Colors opens at the Museum. With more than 200 live frogs from around the world, the exhibition hints at the remarkable diversity that exists among the more than 6,200 frog species inhabiting the globe.

During Festival Luna, a two-day Global Weekends festival that took place at the Museum in early 2013, the Museum hosted a team from Kitchen Conversations, a project to document storytelling about food. Interviewers asked visitors to offer personal reflections about meals and cooking. In this podcast, join the conversation with raconteurs of all ages and from different backgrounds as they swap recipes and recall their favorite home-cooked meals.
