Renovated Hall of North American Mammals at the AMNH

This fall the American Museum of Natural History reopened its Hall of North American Mammals, after a year-and-a-half, $2.5 million renovation. The results are astonishing, with colors so bright they're almost neon, and creatures so fresh they might pop out of the display and offer a paw in greeting.

Nature is at its most enjoyable when contained in an air-conditioned building next to a Shake Shack. (I have no idea if a Shake Shack is actually anywhere nearby but figure it's pretty likely.) Second-to-last picture is my favourite!
