44. Smithsonian Museum of Natural Histroy

The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in New York is now online and available for virtual tours of the 3 floors of the museum. The five pieces of good news are:

  • The site is  so easy to navigate
  • The models and graphics are amazing
  • The zoom button allows you to read the text beside the exhibits
  • You don't have to b able to read to tour around
  • Its all free




By clicking on each of the floors you get a floor map and can enter any one of the numerous exhibit halls.







There are a series of navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen to help you navigate your way around including letting you take panoramic views of the halls.



The models and graphics are amazing, and viewing just brilliant due also to the resolution of the site online.
Well worth a visit.

Beware however that the buttons do move quickly and one can get arther seasick navigating backwards and forwards not to mention round and round.
