American Museum of Natural History to see the IMAX film Dinosaurs Alive! for only $1 when you purchase a ticket to Mythic Creatures.

Gaze into the eyes of a majestic 17-foot-long dragon.  Stand in the shadow of the roc, the mythical bird of prey with a 20-foot wing span.  Explore the deep ocean world in search of mermaids and the massive kraken, the sea monster with ship-crushing tentacles.

With marvelous “life-size” models, telling artifacts, fossil evidence, and more, this thrilling exhibition delves into the anthropological origins and cultural significance of some of the world’s most enchanting mythological characters of land, sea, and air. 

As compelling for adults as it is exciting for children, the exhibition showcases the surprising similarities–and differences–in the ways these strange and wonderful
beings have been depicted throughout history.
