For more than 130 years, the American Museum of Natural History has launched thousands of scientific expeditions across the seven continents, mapping the origin and progression of life on this planet and exploring the richness and the variety of world cultures. In this same spirit, the Museum established AMNH Expeditions which, for more than 50 years, has enabled Museum Travelers to embark on their own explorations of the world in the company of AMNH scientists, educators and curators.
The goal of AMNH Expeditions is to present educational travel programs that reflect past and current areas of interest and exploration by the American Museum of Natural History. The tours provide a combination of study, adventure, and leisure activities.
From the flaming cliffs of the Gobi Desert to the blue icescapes of Antarctica, AMNH Expeditions offers unique programs to extraordinary destinations, unparalleled access to world famous sites and people, and the exceptional educational content that is provided by an international network of scholars, world leaders, community members, friends and partner institutions.Your participation helps to support the Museum’s mission to discover, interpret, and disseminate—through scientific research and education—knowledge about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe.
