Located in the American Museum of Natural History on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City.The $465 million, 5 story and 230,000-square-foot (21,000 m2) Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education and Innovation opened in May 2023, and houses new exhibition and display areas devoted to insects, a restaurant, visible storage, a library, classrooms, laboratories and more. It includes a butterfly vivarium, where visitors can walk among hundreds of live specimens as they flutter about in a lush tropical setting. Another permanent fixture is an immersive and interactive video experience called “Invisible Worlds” that focuses on miniature and microscopic natural processes like firing brain neurons, the exchange of nutrients and water between tree roots and the importance of plankton to ocean ecosystems.

The center is designed by Studio Gang, the international architecture and urban design practice led by Jeanne Gang, Professor in Practice of Architecture at GSD. [Wikipedia]
