Small but visually striking natural history hall on the Amherst College campus with large vertebrate fossils, mounted skeletons and fossil slabs set in clean, modern displays. Best visited weekdays mid-morning to early afternoon for steady natural light from clerestory windows. Free entry, campus parking nearby; wheelchair accessible. Ask about tripod/flash policies before shooting. Great for close-up texture shots of bone and wide interiors showing scale.
