When I took my son to the American Museum of Natural History in NYC last summer, I realized that I'd forgotten how full of fun and wonder museums can be. The fab collection of museum-inspired science t-shirts for kids from J. Crew for AMNH is bringing it all back--for him and for me. The six designs are largely gender neutral and integrate fun science facts. How long are a T. Rex's teeth? What will you find in the Hall of Gems? I'm not going to tell you. But the shirts can lead you to the answers.

  I especially like how the Olive and Dino Tee (middle photo) blends the coolness of dinosaurs with the fun of being a girl who digs that kind of stuff, all without resorting to dousing the shirt in pink and glitter. That's a sign of a smart collaboration. That said, how about a little diversity in the models, AMNH? It's not just white kids who like science or cool tees. J.Crew for AMNH science t-shirts for kids are available now in the AMNH shop for $32-$38. Proceeds from the sale of shirts support the museum.
