This book is a pleasant guided tour through one of the best known museums in New York. It is also a history of where I work. AMNH is a massive place with a great history, a history that isn’t as well organized as Preston’s book would let you believe. The institutional memory is spotty, and not well-organized. I have spent some days digging around old files and found some odd things myself, but not about objects that are quite as famous as the ones in this book. And so I am thankful to have this resource. Preston does a very good job in creating quick biographical portraits of the important players in the museum. I don’t know if anyone involved in “A Night at the Museum” has read Dinosaurs in the Attic but they certainly missed out on a lot of great opportunities for real characters, stories, and events, more than Teddy Roosevelt and a gum-chewing statue. I have used this book as a guide to some of the less celebrated objects that are on display. It is very enjoyable to read about an object one night, and see it the next day at work. This book puts the museum’s cursory label decks to shame, not that I blame the AMNH editorial staff (whom I work with) but rather I blame how museum artifacts are consumed. I don’t think many people would stop to read 500 words about a diorama, no matter how many people died to produce it. I’m very glad to have read Dinosaurs in the Attic, and I wish that there were a few more volumes to wander through, because, to be perfectly honest, the museum is just too damn big, and even I can’t get into all of the rooms.
