This is a nice science museum in Buffalo NY. Dinosaurs, an ethnographic collection from around the world, and other stuff to see.
Some photos from a visit.
For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and travel around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visit. I am currently in New York.
