Introduction to magical birds;

The American Museum of Natural History is the largest natural history museum in the world. One of its treasures is a natural history library with 500,000 books, including photos, movies and manuscripts.

When editing the book Wonderful Birds, we selected 40 rare books related to birds from the museum. These books with charming illustrations play an indispensable role in the development of ornithology.

After Peter Capenoro's fascinating summary, Paul Sweet will take you through the cave, examine the works left by naturalists, illustrators and explorers as pioneers, and let you see the magic and beauty of birds, an elf between heaven and earth.
