For more than 130 years, the American Museum of Natural History has been a leader in scientific research, conservation, and education. Located in New York City, the Museum is renowned for its collections and exhibitions, which serve as a field guide to the entire planet and its cultures.

Scientists from the Museum go on approximately 100 expeditions each year to collect new data and to follow up on previous fieldwork. With each careful, detailed field study, scientists add to the existing body of knowledge. To learn about Museum expeditions, go to http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/expeditions.
