This article is part of the Fine Arts & Exhibits special section on the art world’s expanded view of what art is and who can make it. Thousands of hours of data research. Dozens of interviews with scientists. The result: a 12-minute loop, 360-degree visual experience that takes place in a 23-foot-tall oval space with canted walls. Visitors find themselves under the sea, as jellyfish, krill and plankton rise balletically upward; surrounded by the swooping of migrating, tweeting birds; underground among tree roots and fungi exchanging water and nutrients; and submersed in colorful strands of nerve cells.

The American Museum of Natural History has always been known for creatures — just not more than a million live ones. That may change, however, as a result of its Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education and Innovation. Since this new wing opened in May, almost 1.5 million people have visited the museum, and most are thought to have explored the four floors of the Gilder Center that are open to the public. But even repeat visitors like me are still discovering its many attractions, including crawling and flying animals, mostly of the small but mighty variety. But the center, which was designed by the architect Jeanne Gang and her firm, Studio Gang, has more than wiggly wildlife.
