American Museum Of Natural History
This is one of the rooms at the American Museum of Natural History. Its a huge place with lots of different exhibitions. The American Museum of Natural History houses the most versatile and time consuming exhibitions i have ever seen. There are some many rooms with such a diversity of information that you could easily make a visit span several days. This is the Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life where they have a full-size model of a Blue Whale hanging from the ceiling. If you are visiting Manhattan, New York and its a rainy day, go visit the American Museum of Natural History. Its worth it. btw. you can't use your tripod inside the museum ;)

Full size model of a blue whale ? Man, thats some waste of space!! lol Actually it does help people visualise (esp. children) I like how you've made the best use of the light inside and done without a tripod. Nice.
Very nice work on the interior photo...
I've been here a few times, and I remember Friday nights were free admission... I don't know if that's changed now. It's been a few years.
Looks like a great place to visit. Our son Matthew would find it especially interesting. Beautiful structure, captured from a wonderful vantage point.
Another stunning performance! Were you not allowed to bring your tripod with you?
Great picture! How did you keep most of the people sharp? In my attempts they are all blurry ghosts. Hope you enjoyed your time in NY!
Very nice!
I like the various colors that you've captured. With the available lighting, it almost seems like a night time shot.
Was walking by it a couple of weeks ago - did you take any photos of the remodeling? It looks great draped in white. It is a great shot with a lot of detail - I can't imagine carrying a tripod around though :)
Very nice job. I like unusual angles of view.
Very impressive. Do you keep your photos on
www.fortofoto.com or you have better place to keep it on-line? Any suggestions?
Thank you
@Ruprect: You where allowed to bring the tripod inside, but you where not allowed to use it.... plenty of security guards going around ;) I balanced my camera on a rail.
@Sean: I have another shot closer to the head of the whale, where there where more light, but the room was really dark. I don't know why.
Another very good picture, I bet that it didn't look this nice in reality.
Love the wide angle view. Good shot!
Looks really like a spacelab.
Nice interior, I love the giant whale ready to eat those tiny little men :)
i love this sort of places!! great mood
Beautiful shot, outstanding details. I especially like the whale and the ceiling pattern. Great tones and composition. Like the wide angle view looking over this room, great job.
Great colors and I like that the whale kind of comes "swimming" into picture. I dont feel that the ghosts disturb at all.
I guess the shot must been quite tricky without the tripod :)

Really awesome! The angle you chose accentuates the feeling of diving inside the museum. Great job!
It looks like a really cool place. I like all of the blue.
Very cool photo.
reminds me of the Squid and the Whale.. ever see it. nice shot.
damn! my attempt to photograph this room came out crappy!
Great photo. I like the blue windows in the roof of this building. And of course the whale is impressive.
Thanks all.
I really enjoyed my vacation in Manhattan, New York. Almost got a back pain from carrying my tripod and lenses around, but it was worth it :)
so colorful!
I love that whale and what a great wide angle shot. Nice!
Very colorful shot! Looks like a fun place to visit.
