Each depicts a precise moment in time at a specific location, with native flora and fauna.In the early twentieth century, the Museum raised awareness of wildlife conservation through groundbreaking habitat dioramas, which used scientific observation, art, and the latest exhibition technology to bring wilderness from all over the world directly before the public. Today, these dioramas are considered some of the most exceptional museum displays in the world.Ornithologist Frank M. Chapman led the development of "habitat group" exhibits at the Museum, traveling some 90,000 miles to gather materials for the original Hall of North American Birds, which opened in 1902. Now known as the Leonard C. Sanford Hall of North American Birds, it was the first museum hall in the world dedicated to habitat dioramas.
