Over a third of NYC public school children pass through our halls every year to learn about science and nature. Allow a class of schoolchildren to encounter the Museum’s iconic halls! Whether learning about T. rex or the latest discoveries in astrophysics, students will experience the excitement of science. Any size contribution makes a difference, but a gift of $350 will give a class of New York City school students a free visit to the Museum.
