81st Street–Museum of Natural History is a local station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. It is served by the C train at all times except nights, when the A train takes over service. The B train provides additional service here on weekdays except nights.Station layoutThe station opened on September 10, 1932, and has four tracks and two side platforms. On this section of the line, the local tracks are stacked, uptown above downtown, and the express tracks are stacked in the same order to the east of them, so both platforms are on the west side, one above the other. The station is at Central Park West and 81st Street, rather than the major crosstown 79th Street (although an entrance also exists at this street) to accommodate the American Museum of Natural History, which largely fills the area of what was once called the Manhattan Square. The 79th Street Transverse Road, through Central Park, exits the park here. An underground entrance directly into the museum's lowest level is at the south end of the uptown (northbound or upper) platform.South of this station are storage/lay up tracks between the local and express tracks on each level. Both ends of the tracks merge with the express tracks, with switches to the local tracks.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is its first and, only director.HistoryThe center is an extensive reworking of the former Hayden Planetarium, whose first projector, dedicated in 1935, had 2 successors previous to the current one.The original Hayden Planetarium was founded in 1933 with a donation by philanthropist Charles Hayden. In 1935, the Hayden Planetarium, designed by architects Trowbridge & Livingston, opened, after its construction was funded by a $650,000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and a $150,000 donation from banker Charles Hayden of Hayden, Stone & Co. Its mission was to give the public "a more lively and sincere appreciation of the magnitude of the universe... and for the wonderful things which are daily occurring in the universe." Joseph M. Chamberlain, hired as an assistant curator in 1952, became Chairman of the Planetarium in 1956. In 1960, a Zeiss Mark IV projector was installed, followed by a Zeiss Mark VI projector and new seats in 1993.

La mitad superior de la esfera Hayden alberga el "Star Theater" ("Teatro de las estrellas"), el cual usa videos de alta resolución sobre el domo para proyectar "espectáculos espaciales" basados en la visualización científica de datos astrofísicos actuales, además de un proyector Zeiss personalizado que hace una réplica precisa del cielo nocturno visto desde la Tierra.La mitad inferior de la esfera alberga el "Teatro del Big Bang", el cual representa el nacimiento del universo en un programa de cuatro minutos. Cuando los visitantes dejan el teatro del planetario, salen a la exhibición "Escalas de tamaño del universo" la cual muestra las vastas diferencias de tamaño del universo; la pasarela de salida es una línea temporal de la historia del universo desde el Big Bang al presente. Esta exhibición lleva al "Teatro del Big Bang" y sale a la "Vía Cósmica", que muestra la historia del universo. Desde el fondo de la "Vía Cósmica", los visitantes pueden pasar por el "Salón del planeta Tierra" para explorar la geología, clima, tectónica de placas, o ir al "Salón del Universo" a explorar planetas, estrellas y galaxias.
