Advanced Mammals
Milstein Hall of Advanced Mammals
Permanent exhibition. Opened June 1994. Located on Floor 4, Section 5. The Paul and Irma Milstein Hall of Advanced Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History is one of two halls in the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of Mammals and Their Extinct Relatives, which together tell of the great diversification and sudden extinctions of this group of animals. The roots of the mammalian line reach back almost 300 million years, but the mammals featured in this hall, including both primitive and advanced species, arose after the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. (1) Curators who supervised the installation of the new fossil halls include Mark Norell, Lowell Dingus, Eugene S. Gaffney, and Michael J. Novacek. (2, 1995) Supervising preparators include Jeanne Kelly and Phil Fraley. Steven Warsavage supervised the installation. (3, 1995, p. 6-10)
