Throughout our history, AMNH has launched expeditions across seven
continents, mapping the origin and progression of life on this planet
and exploring the richness and variety of world cultures. Museum log
books are laden with reports from Franz Boas in the North Pacific,
Barnum Brown in the American West, Roy Chapman Andrews in Asia,
Theodore Roosevelt in South America, Robert Peary at the North Pole,
Carl Akeley in Africa, and Margaret Mead in the South Pacific.
These intrepid scientists and adventurers are the inspiration behind
AMNH Expeditions. Created for our travelers by AMNH's scientific staff
and travel experts and inspired by AMNH's rich history of expedition,
vast collections, and current research around the world, AMNH
Expeditions are unlike other travel programs. Designed for those who
yearn for an in-depth educational experience in the field, these
special tours are led by AMNH and other world-renowned scientists and
educators and are often developed in partnership with international
institutions and like-minded organizations. Each program features small
groups, allowing behind-the-scenes access and special entrée not often
found on larger tours.
