What Is the Carnegie Institute Museum of Natural History?
This museum is a treasure trove of fossils, minerals, and artifacts collected and brought to Pittsburgh since 1874!
What Makes It Wonderful?
See amazing fossils, including the first excavated Tyrannosaurus skeleton, the Apatosaurus that was Brontosaurus, and of course, the original Dippy the Diplodocus! With an expansive collection of gems and minerals, and a uniquely self aware collection of Egyptian and Native American artifacts, the Carnegie Institute Museum of Natural History rightfully bills itself as the world’s most relevant natural history museum!
