This guidebook, geared to an audience of kids and grandparents, tries to convey the excitement of scientific pursuit and clearly guide a visitor through a complex natural history museum. Objects from the collection are removed from their vitrines and presented as specimens for the reader to study, or environments for the reader to explore. Maps on the inside front cover and each spread locate every specimen in the museum.
