T his is one of the largest public museums in the United States, and is considered one of the best natural history museums in the world. The star attraction is "Sue," a dinosaur skeleton that occupies one end of the great hall. The museum also has more than 20,000,000 other items, though not all are on display simultaneously.

Rating: Five stars.
An impressive edifice, made all the more impressive in juxtaposition to the more contemporary structures. We need to house our history in a historical building that awakens our recollection of past architectural triumphs.
