The natural history museum has an awesome collection of artifacts that is well worth seeing. That being said, it appears to be woefully behind in providing context to them. Small placards in front of an exhibit, or in the case of the beautiful hall of Architecture way off to the side, barely help identify most of objects, let alone provide any background for why or how the are on display. Why can't a QR code next to the object or having it's image recognized by our phone, be used to bring up some information about it? This is 2022, none of this is new technology

After a harrowing drive through a snow storm my girlfriend and I arrived at the Carnegie. Parking was $7. Check in was easy and we began our journey. So many things to see. Seemed like you could never see everything. My girlfriend loved the dinosaur display. My favorite thing was the door marked Section of Mystery. Look for this door (I posted a picture). Loved our time roaming though the exhibits.
Diavolo !

Really nice museum with a lot of interesting exhibits. You could easily spend a few hours here. I ended up going twice - once to see the natural history side and once to see the art side and I spent two hours each time.I booked tickets ahead and went on a weekday and it was pretty empty. Not sure what it looks like on weekends but I don’t think you would need to book ahead most days.
